Practice information:

Christina’s work with clients focuses on helping them connect with their innate capacity to heal, supporting them to learn to trust themselves, and developing their ability to reflect on their inner self. Christina has extensive experience assisting a diverse range of clients achieve their goals, develop new skills, and regain emotional balance and a sense of well-being.

In their work with Christina, clients can expect to feel deeply understood and validated while being gently invited to identify distressing thoughts and behaviour patterns that interfere with their ability to live their best life. Christina’s goal is for every client to walk away feeling more hopeful and able to cope through increased psychoeducation, mindfulness, skill development, and deep healing.
