Hi, I’m Christine. I am a Stamford based, person-centred therapeutic counsellor. I strongly believe that our mental health is paramount in all that we do.
Prior to setting up my counselling business I have had 40 years of experience in childcare, giving me a deep understanding of the development and needs of children and young people.
Through my work with The Evergreen Care Trust, a private secondary school and Breathing Space I have gained an invaluable wealth of experience and knowledge in supporting people with a wide range of issues; stress and anxiety, bereavement and bipolar to name a few.
I have also experienced my own unique counselling journey at different stages of my life. These experiences have provided me with a valuable insight that I now draw upon regularly for my own clients.
Together, we will build a therapeutic relationship based on mutual trust and respect to encourage you to independently achieve your goals.
Through non-judgemental and supportive sessions we will work together on a tailored plan helping you to;
- empower yourself
- reconnect you to yourself
- reduce anxiety and stress
- increase confidence and self-esteem amongst other potential outcomes.
I work to the highest ethical and legal standards adhering to the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) practitioner requirements. I am fully insured and DBS certified. All DATA is handled safely, securely, confidentially, and in compliance with UK gen data professional regulations.
