Hello, I’m Christine, an Integrative Counsellor, Hypnotherapist, and professional Life Coach working with the Devon Clinic as part of the team.
I appreciate that reaching out to a therapist might feel daunting. It may be that you are holding onto some painful emotions or experiencing stress or anxiety. Or that you really need someone to talk to who will listen without judgment and seek to understand what is going on for you. You might also be looking to find a work/life balance and explore realistic positive changes to support your well-being. The way I will work with you is considered an integrative approach, meaning that I may call upon various theories and techniques from my training in person-centred, psychodynamic, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), and compassionate enquiry to meet your unique needs.
We will compassionately explore the deeper and lighter aspects of your experiences that may affect you presently, work things through together, and agree on appropriate ways to support you best. Yet, I will always be guided by you, working holistically together with a sense of curiosity and compassion at a pace that suits you.
Whether we meet in person or online, I provide a safe, nurturing and non-judgmental environment where you can freely express yourself, knowing that your words will remain confidential. Our initial conversations will revolve around your motivations for seeking therapeutic support and ensuring you are comfortable with how we might work together. We can explore what can support you right now, gain understanding and insight, and discover ways to make the changes you hope for.
I am fully qualified – BSc (Hons) in Psychotherapy and Counselling, insured, supervised and a Registered Member of The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), The General Hypnotherapy Register (GHC).
