From my clients

I first met Chris some years ago after getting a recommendation from a friend. I was in quite a dark place and didn’t know how to help myself. From the start I felt relaxed and able to unwind my thoughts to her. She is a good listener and gave me invaluable advice. I had about 4 sessions initially and finally felt able to confront and deal with my negative thoughts.
I have subsequently had a couple more sessions at different times and these act as a reminder that I am not alone. I used to wake up and feel every day was grey but with Chris’s help most of my days now are bright. And I know that I only need to pick up the phone and she will be there for me, listening patiently as I tell my worries.
So thank you Chris you are truly my lifeline to better, brighter

I have recently undertaken a short course with Chris following some challenging experiences in my personal life. I had previously seen a therapist where I had been able to ‘unpack’ a variety of things however Chris really helped me focus my mind around what my forward looking goals were. We then spent time discussing techniques to use to build confidence and resilience to be able to assert the changes that I needed to make in my life.

I found Chris easy to communicate with and experienced at dealing with the challenges that I had. Overall a hugely positive experience and both an opportunity to talk and share concerns but also learn how best to manage them and make positive steps forward.

Chris has helped me with useful techniques and strategies to cope with my anxiety and the feeling that my brain was running at 100mph! I have implemented some simple changes to my daily routine which have helped me cope better with situations that would normally trigger my anxiety. I recommend Chris who is a great listener and offers practical and simple techniques in helping to cope with difficult situations.

I came to Chris at a time in my life when I was very unhappy with certain aspects of my life and didn’t know how to tackle them. She’s helped me re build my confidence and given me tools to help me tackle hard times or when I start to doubt myself. 


I would highly recommend chris to anyone she has really helped me

I had some sessions with chris as I was experiencing some anxiety / low mood Chris took the time to understand my situation and I left every session with Clarity and confidence in exactly what I needed to do. I’m now able to much better manage my anxiety and I have more purpose, focus and direction in my life. 

Christine helps you view your challenges from an evidence base perspective and gives you real, practical solutions. My happiness factor has definitely increased over the last few months in working with her would highly recommend, thank you Chris

I started CBT feeling very low in myself. I’ve always found it hard to talk to anyone about my feelings and what’s going on in my life right now.. but since I started CBT I found it very relaxing and very re-assuring that I can talk about anything about my past and also going forward and dealing with everyday issues regarding my life. Now I feel more focussed, relaxed and a lot stronger frame of mind which is exactly what I wanted to achieve for myself and my family. Very highly recommended.

I sought help because I was feeling anxious all the time. I felt overwhelmed and as a result I was less productive, which further fuelled my anxiety. Simply just meeting with Chris and starting to talk about it all helped, but learning about how my thinking patterns and unhelpful thoughts has really made a difference. I feel I have a way to think about my thoughts and expectations in a much more helpful way. Even within a few sessions I feel more relaxed, just because I know how to manage how Im feeling.

I’ve suffered with anxiety for several years and started to see Chris when I could no longer cope and had hit rock bottom. On our first meeting, I immediately felt at ease and found Chris easy to talk to. She helped me get to the root causes of my anxiety and worked with me to develop strategies along with helpful thinking that have enabled me to become more confident and outgoing in both my personal and professional lives.

It has helped me because now I can tell someone how I feel and they can help you feel better about yourself. I feel better getting rid of my unhelpful thinking. I have learnt that being a teenager makes your problems bigger than they are. Spending time with mum helps because I can tell her how I feel. Chris is easy to talk to.

I had several sessions of 1-1 cbt with Christine.  She is hugely supportive, understanding, and encouraging. I looked forward to our sessions each week, and have come away feeling like my eyes have been opened to so many new concepts and ideas. I have a much better understanding of myself and now have a range of tools and techniques that I can use when I notice warning signs around my anxiety. I am very grateful for the support that Christine has provided – it has already made a huge positive impact on my life and wellbeing – and I know that will only grow in the future. Thank you again

Having spent a successful year with a counsellor, I thought I was all good to go and not look back. In fact I wasn’t quite right and thought I’d look into CBT. I contacted Chris and it was the best decision I made. After seven sessions I gained a wealth of knowledge and mindful techniques, it was a breath of fresh air. Her friendly positive attitude really helps you think about those silly things that get into your head and she teaches you how to deal with any problems that may arise. I can highly recommend Chris for CBT, she knows her stuff and makes you feel very relaxed during the sessions and most importantly of all, she doesn’t judge! I have and will be recommending Chris to others as she helped me get back on track.

I found I could talk to Chris about anything – she was extremely helpful about so many issues.With the CBT techniques she taught me, I learnt that I can apply evidence based helpful thinking to ALL aspects of my life so that fearful situations don’t seem nearly as fearful! Thanks to Chris for empowering me to start going out again and facing the world on my terms, knowing I have a choice. My brain has rewired!

I cannot believe how much Chris has helped me in such a short amount of time. When I first came I don’t think I even realised how much I was suffering, both from long-term unresolved issues as well as more recent triggers. She helped me change how I thought about myself, my past and my future- helping me back into work as well as into a really healthy, happy routine. She’s definitely turned my life around and I firmly believe that CBT can help everyone. I would heartily recommend Chris to anyone.

I would just like to say how amazing this has actually help me and I feel more positive then I ever did before. I never thought I could get any help but the fact that I’ve found the right support and I found it in the cognitive behavioural therapy.  I would recommend this and Chris, she is amazing and an understanding lady and she pushes you to your goals.
