A warm welcome from Christine. Take 20 seconds to see if our resonance feels right for you
Hi! I’m Christine, and I believe healing happens in relationships
We are here to support you in navigating life’s complexities with more clarity, self-trust, self-love and ease. As a counsellor and educator with a PhD in Education from the University of Cambridge, I bring deep insight into how people learn, grow, and make meaning of their experiences—especially during times of transition, rupture, or rediscovery. My focus is on building a warm, attuned space where you can reconnect with your inner voice, move at your own pace, and cultivate a life that feels more aligned and nourishing from within.
How We Support You — Online
Counselling
Counselling provides a supportive space to help you navigate specific challenges—whether it’s a relationship breakdown, workplace stress, grief and loss, a major life change, or a period of anxiety or emotional overwhelm. We focus on what matters most to you, clarify your goals, and explore practical ways to ease distress, including learning about the brain and nervous system’s response to stress. My role is to walk alongside you as we find solutions that feel authentic, sustainable, and right for your life.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a gentle, longer-term process that offers space to breathe, reflect, and heal. If you’re feeling stuck, exhausted, or carrying past hurts, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface—deepening self-understanding and reconnecting with your inner voice. Through psychoeducation, you’ll learn how the brain and nervous system respond to stress, trauma, and relationships, gaining practical tools and insight to navigate life with greater awareness, choice, and resilience.
Therapeutic Coaching
Therapeutic coaching blends a supportive, reflective space with a focus on your goals and achievements. We work together to explore your strengths, clarify what you want in life, and create practical strategies to move forward. Grounded in a solution-focused approach, sessions help you overcome obstacles, build confidence, and develop skills for lasting growth—empowering you to navigate challenges and take intentional steps toward the future you want.
My Approach
My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in presence. I work from a person-centred foundation, guided by the belief that you already hold the seeds of healing within you—and that therapy is a collaborative space to help those seeds take root and grow. Drawing from person-centered approach, attachment theory and nervous system awareness, I tailor each session to your unique story, pace, and needs.
You can expect a calm, non-judgmental environment where you don’t have to perform or explain everything right away. Instead, we’ll move gently—making space for what wants to be felt, understood, and re-integrated. Over time, therapy can help you strengthen your connection to your inner self, reclaim your voice, and live more fully in alignment with what feels authentic to you.
