Book sessions with Christine

My priority is helping you make positive changes that last. We will gently explore to uncover specific goals, responses, thoughts, attitudes, behaviours and feelings, empowering you to shift old beliefs and find strategies for lasting change.

I will gather information to help evaluate your situation, and together we will make a plan for treatment.

I take a holistic and solution-focused approach to help you transform your life. Sessions are tailored to suit your goals and the changes you wish to make. I may draw upon various modalities including mindfulness, hypnosis, NLP, schema therapy, Gottman Method couples therapy, depending on your needs.

Be prepared to discuss what you would like to change in depth. Think about the reasons why you want to change, and also the reasons why you might want to stay the same. The clearer you are about your goals and what you want to achieve, the more likely you are to make lasting changes.

It’s also a good idea to wear comfortable clothes as you may be sitting or reclining for up to 90 minutes.

I maintain your information in the strictest confidence in accordance with the law and Codes of Ethics of my professional associations.

Legally, I may be required to break confidentiality, for instance, if I believe you or another person is at risk or if a court requests my files.

Additionally, you may grant me permission to share your information with another professional (such as a GP or lawyer), or another person (for instance, your partner).

I also seek regular clinical supervision to ensure the quality and effectiveness of my work. As part of this process, I may discuss your case anonymously.
