Background and approach
She believes the client is the expert in their own story and focuses on clients' strengths when planning work together. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person. Her practice draws on somatic approaches that connect bodily experience with emotion, and trauma-focused work for people carrying the effects of past harm.
In sessions Christina will use talking alongside gentle body-based awareness to help people notice how stress or pain shows up physically and emotionally. Clients can expect a calm, direct style that breaks problems into manageable steps. Christina talks through goals and practical strategies, as well as how to respond when things feel overwhelming.
She aims to leave people with tools they can use between sessions. Beginning counselling can feel daunting. Christina offers simple guidance on next steps and supports people as they build confidence to face difficult feelings and situations.
How somatic and trauma work translate to online therapy
Somatic Therapy draws attention to the body and to sensations that link to emotions. Online sessions can guide people to notice breathing, posture and tension, and use that awareness to reduce stress and feel more present. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process the effects of past harm in a gradual way, using stabilisation, grounding and carefully paced discussion to reduce distress and build coping skills.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and comfort level. That partnership means techniques can be adjusted over time so the pace and focus feel right for the client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. These options make it easier to fit counselling around family life, work and daily routines. Video and phone sessions allow real-time conversation, while chat and messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, reflection or written guidance between live meetings.
