About Me

Hi, I'm Christina. I am an American expat living in the UK since 2020. I received my Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counselling in the United States and I became a formally Licensed Professional Counsellor in the US in 2015.

 

I have over 12 years of counselling experience and more recently became a Board Certified TeleMental Health Therapist, predominantly seeing clients online.

 

Upon moving to the UK in 2020, I became an Accredited Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and remain an active member.

Approach

My therapeutic approaches include: Humanistic, Existential, Gestalt Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

 

I work in a holistic way, taking into account all your physical, emotional, social, environmental and spiritual issues and how they affect your life and mental health. I always work collaboratively with you, together exploring options so that you can make the right choices for your life based on your needs, values, and priorities. 

​

I believe that every human being is unique, and deserves compassion and empathy.  I use an integrated approach, which means that I assess your individual needs and work with the right approaches for you; I do not impose my approach or beliefs on you. 

 

All races, genders, religions, and walks of life are welcome and appreciated.
