Counselling
I offer counselling in the St. Albans area and online. I aim to create a compassionate and honest environment for us to explore your world.
If you are thinking of starting counselling, it might be helpful to know that the quality of the relationship between you and your counsellor is really important. Without trust and respect nothing much can happen.
Where appropriate, I draw on my experience as a mindfulness practitioner and teacher to enhance the therapeutic process.
You probably don’t want to read a list of the problems I work with – ultimately I work with what you bring me because people don’t fit into lists or boxes. You can read more about sessions here.
I work with individuals. Sessions are normally £50.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a life skill that involves paying attention to our
present moment experience with an attitude of openness, curiosity, non-judgment, and acceptance. Mindfulness training enables us to step out of automatic pilot, creating space to respond rather than react.
Cultivation of mindful compassion strengthens our inner resources to help us respond more kindly and wisely when faced with inner turmoil and difficulties. Mindfulness can be particularly useful for people in recovery from addiction.
My course aims to help you to develop an in-depth experiential learning of mindfulness, and to build the foundations of a sustained personal practice that you can apply in your daily life. A
kinder way of being.
About Christine
For my whole working life I have been in caring role, engaging with people on a one to one basis. I started off my career as a nurse and I have been in the health and caring professions ever since.
In my own life I have benefited greatly from meditation and I’ve attended many retreats and courses over the years. I am qualified through The Mindfulness Association to teach mindfulness meditation.
I love being out in nature, wether its walking my dog or in the garden.
I am a Psychosynthesis Counsellor and a registered member of the BACP.
