    Are you feeling stuck? Do you sometimes experience BIG emotions that you cannot explain? I am Christina and I provide a safe place for you to explore and process your thoughts, emotions and relationship issues so that you can release the weight of past and present challenges, while discovering and working towards the future that you would like to build. I am here to support you as you process your traumas and their impact on you and as you develop coping strategies to better manage stress, anxiety and depression.

    I help my clients recognize how family dynamics have impacted their understanding of themselves, their beliefs and behaviours, and better understand their struggles and strengths. I will help you develop a healthier mindset so that you have a more balanced view of yourself, others, and your ability to handle challenges.

    My clients tell me that they have gained greater understanding and awareness of themselves, their relationships and of the capabilities they have for creating change in their lives. If this sounds like the help and support you need, and a journey you would like to go on, then I so look forward to it. Reach out today !

    Christina enjoys spending time in nature, travelling and exploring creative hobbies like her painting hobby. Her favourite quote is ” A day without laughter is a day wasted”.
