Transpersonal Counselling in Marlow

Psychotherapy is a word that derives from ancient Greek and means 'liberating the soul'. Our sessions together are an opportunity to talk about concerns and issues that might be difficult to share with family and friends and that might feel overwhelming to deal with alone. It is a chance to feel supported, gain insight and make positive changes, in a way which respects your values, personal resources and freedom of choice.

I offer space for people who wish to explore fundamental issues. Some people are driven to counselling by a current crisis that means they need support. Others have been managing perfectly well but decide that repeating destructive patterns or underlying dissatisfaction now deserve attention. I hold a Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling from Re-Vision. This is 'counselling with a soulful perspective'. The strongest influence in the training is Jung. In this perspective, times of real difficulty or despair are seen as holding a potential for change and growth. In our work you will be heard and witnessed.

My name is Christine and I have been a practising counsellor and psychotherapist in the Thames Valley, (Sonning Common) near Reading, RG4 and in Paddington, London W2 for over twenty years. I am fully committed to providing counselling and psychotherapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment.

Perhaps you're feeling down; depressed, anxious, confused, overwhelmed, stuck or lonely. Maybe you're unsure about a relationship, challenged by life transitions or a relationship breakdown.You might be struggling with childhood trauma, parenting,adoption, infertility, loss and identity issues. Or just feeling that you aren't living the life you deserve. Life gets tough sometimes, yet out of our vulnerabilities lie our strength. Therapy is a process of self-discovery & growth that helps you to understand aspects of your life that may be holding you back, heal and ignite passion and fulfilment. I have faith and welcome you as you are

There are times in our lives when we feel overwhelmed by personal problems. We might turn to family or friends but feel that this is not enough. Or perhaps we find it difficult to talk about what’s bothering us or feel there’s no one who wants or are able to listen. Therapy provides a safe and contained space where personal challenges and difficult feelings can be expressed and gently explored & processed. I provide a professional & confidential psychotherapy service in which I help & support my clients work through whatever difficulties they’re experiencing. I maintain a duty of care & work within ethical boundaries.

I work with families, couples and individuals. Specialising in relationships, anger, self-esteem issues, addictions and emotional difficulties, I help you have a better relationship with others as well as yourself. I work with you to explore and understand your struggles, repeating patterns and find ways to change them or adapt them to make them helpful. Couples tend to argue in a cyclic nature without ever resolving their arguments. I work with couples to understand this cycle and how to exit it. Individuals can also get stuck in repeating patterns. Examining them, understanding them and working through them brings change.

Are you feeling anxious? Depressed? Low self-esteem? I offer therapeutic counselling using talking and creative therapy so you can plant the seeds of awareness and grow change in your life. I (she/her) am a trained integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor, ecopsychotherapist and practising artist. I work with adults and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, loss, low self-esteem, relationships, life direction, stress, burnout, trauma, attachment, creative blocks, divorce, intimacy, abuse, sexuality, OCD, religion, family problems, money stories, spiritual disconnection, psychedelic integration and living abroad.

I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor with a comprehensive background in psychology, hypnotherapy, pluralistic counselling, emotional clearing and mindfulness. I provide a safe and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement.

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor with a broad range of experience working with young people and adults. The approach I use allows me to move freely between modalities while adapting and bringing together relevant elements according to individual needs and requirements. I believe the essence of my role is the therapeutic relationship between the client and me, developing a trusting relationship within the counselling session is essential. I involve the use of empathy, non-judgment, and authenticity. This alongside confidentiality creates a safe environment for the client and I to work together.

I practice mindfulness based Core Process Psychotherapy, empowering clients to use their own inner wisdom to live more fulfilling lives, transforming the way they see their issues. I mainly work with relationship issues, separation, depression, anxiety and panic attack, grief, self harm and addictions.

Hello and Welcome, Life has indeed become complex. Many of us are now struggling with our mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings have risen to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a Master Degree and EMDR Accredited, I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

We can all at times experience life as challenging and stressful. Clients contact me for a variety of reasons including:partners of childhood sexual abuse survivors, anxiety, work stress, bereavement, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, loss of direction as well as wellbeing for men. Couples also come to my practice. Some come to improve how they communicate, some wish to find a way through their current difficulties and to find a way forward, some wish to separate with compassion and understanding, whereas others come to keep their communication open via couple tune up sessions after the main therapy has ended.

I hold sessions online or by phone. I invite you to take time for yourself to talk about what ever is worrying you.  My interactive approach is tailored to you and your needs. As an individual I would like to help you to access your own inner process to discover more of yourself. We all experience difficult times in our lives, for some it can be an event, a crisis, for others life can feel like an ongoing struggle of hopelessness and no meaning.
