About me
Hi, I’m Christina, an Integrative Counsellor dedicated to helping you. I offer a supportive and confidential service to individuals in Sheffield and online. Whether you are facing challenges or simply looking for a space to talk, I am here to help.
With training in a variety of therapeutic approaches, I adapt each session to suit your unique needs, creating a personalised experience where you feel truly seen and supported.
My aim is to offer you a safe and compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, without the worry of being judged or criticised.
In my work, I focus on creating a trusting and secure relationship that allows you to explore even the most difficult issues. We will work together through what is weighing on you, helping you gain insight, discover new ways of coping, and ultimately find more peace in your life.
I believe that within each of us lies the strength and resources to overcome even the toughest challenges. My role is to offer you the support and space you need to unlock your potential and move towards healing and personal growth.
Training, qualifications & experience
Educational Background:
I hold an accredited Diploma in Integrative Counselling and an MA in Philosophy. I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy), adhering to their ethical framework for good practice.
Throughout my career, I have pursued additional specialised training to enhance my skills and practice. This includes:
- Trauma-Informed Care: Training with Babette Rothschild on “The Mind and Body of Safer Trauma Therapy,” which has deepened my expertise in supporting individuals through trauma.
- Grief Support: Volunteering with Cruse Bereavement Care and completing a 60-hour course to further my understanding of grief and provide empathetic support.
- Transgender Issues: Training in supporting transgender clients, ensuring a sensitive and informed approach to their unique experiences.
Existential Struggles: My background in Philosophy equips me to address existential issues such as loss of purpose, bereavement, and life-threatening illness. - Additional Modalities: Experience in various counselling techniques, including Transactional Analysis and Family Constellations, which contribute to a well-rounded therapeutic practice.
Professional Experience:
With over 15 years of experience in counselling and mental health, I have worked with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, anger management, relationship challenges, and low self-esteem. My experience includes supporting individuals through severe depression, acute anxiety, phobias, and trauma. In addition to my private practice, I have contributed to a range of projects:
- Rethink: As a Mental Health Worker for nearly 5 years, I supported individuals with severe diagnosed mental health disorders and I was involved in the Combat Stress program, offering support to veterans suffering from PTSD.
- GamCare: With 6 years of specialised experience, I worked as an associate counsellor supporting individuals affected by problem gambling, through a charity dedicated to addressing gambling issues.
- Employment Assistance Programs: I provided short-term therapy to individuals dealing with work-related stress and personal issues.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
