Hi, I’m Dr Christina

As an independent Psychologist, I provide a whole-person, holistic and integrative approach to promote healing and bring an end to human suffering. My services are tailored to meet the needs of adolescents and adults who have experienced adversity, trauma, attachment wounds, and loss. I also specialise in Autism, Perinatal Psychology, Parent-Infant and Family Relationships, supporting transitions to parenting, bonding and responding to childrens development needs.

My offerings are informed by my own healing journey, and the gaps I experienced in health care, both as a person seeking therapies and as a professional providing services within the system. My approach includes adapted, alternative and innovative approaches which re-awaken, re-connect, and re-integrate the body, mind, heart , spirit and soul.

I take a non-diagnostic, anti-pathological, trauma-informed approach, standing against labelling and stigmatisation, preferring to understand your life circumstances and ‘what has happened to you’ as opposed to mistakenly trying to diagnose ‘what is wrong with you’!

As a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, I have supported many people within Community, Inpatient, Perinatal & Specialist Trauma Services through the provision of direct therapies, team formulation, consultation, reflective practice, professional training, and clinical supervision.

What people are saying

I previously saw other therapists but it wasn't until I started processing past traumas with Dr Christina that things really started to change!

EMDR & IFS Informed Intensive
The input with Dr Christina has been really helpful for a lot of different issues. I experienced flashbacks, nightmares, and really low self worth and low self esteem for many years. I can cope a lot better now and for once in my life I actually love and honour myself.

12 Weeks Online Therapy
Dr Christina has been very helpful, understanding and caring. I would recommend her to others who are in need of support and therapeutic help as she has a listening ear and will do her best to help.

All is well at the moment, which was mainly down to the therapy received by yourself. It took a couple of weeks to get back into the swing of things without our weekly appointments. They have been greatly missed. It' was like loosing a good friend.

Male Post-Combat: EMDR Online
I would definitely recommend to do therapy with Christina. I found her approach very helpful and individual for my needs. With this, I was able to understand what I needed and how I could meet these. I found the different techniques I learnt great also and I still apply them to this day. Thanks again. 10/10

Online Therapy
Christina held a really safe space allowing me to release trapped emotional trauma I’ve carried my entire life! I now feel emotionally lighter and have a new life. I was ultimately able to release the trauma of childhood that to this point had been a shadow of pain, shame and suffering that I tried to hide and forget about. Being supported to release these fears and the physical effect they had on my body has literally transformed my life! Thank you Christina
