Christina

I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor who works with a range of modalities and techniques,
adapting to meet your individual needs and preferences. This ensures we work together in the best way, for you.
 
How I work...
I work in a person centred manner using psychodynamic concepts
and I incorporate elements of CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) and SFT (solution-focused therapy).
 
Whether you are seeking therapy to work through a present issue, an upcoming transition,
to explore something in your past or to understand yourself better, I will work with you at your pace.
 
I am empathic, warm and offer a safe, non-judgemental space for you to feel seen and heard.                                                        
​I feel strongly about working with people from all walks of life, helping you to work through any difficulties or issues
you may have experienced, or be experiencing.
 
A little bit about me...
Coming from a movement and artistic background, I am passionate about working holistically focusing on the mind-body connection.
I practice yoga, mindfulness and am particularly interested in breath work and the impact of this on the body.
 
I have experience working with adults of all ages suffering from all kinds of difficulties such as anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship, family
and identity issues. I understand the mental health and wellbeing issues that you may consequently experience, both emotionally and physically.
 
I am a registered member of the BACP and practise according to its Ethical Framework.
I am fully insured, comply with supervision requirements and engage in regular continued personal development.
 
I believe in our ability and inner desire to cultivate the best relationships and experiences for ourselves and those around us.
​ I am passionate about working with you to better understand yourself, your thoughts and your behaviours with the aim of improving the relationships in your life, be that with yourself or with others.

The Zoom creative writing sessions have been great for me in lockdown, especially as I am shielding. Oriana sends us very comprehensive and interesting worksheets so we can prepare beforehand and then read out to each other during the session. It’s so good to connect in this way with fellow writers and get the amazing encouragement from Oriana and members of the group. It has been so good to be challenged creatively during this very difficult time and then share our work with familiar faces. Thank you so much Oriana for being so inspirational and considerate.
