Celestia Spong

As a Counsellor and Psychotherapist specializing in Mindfulness and Awareness, I have over a decade worth of knowledge, education, training and experience both personally and professionally. I have worked predominantly with female adults struggling with;

-stress / anxiety,

-depression

-childhood trauma

-low self esteem

-relationship problems

- Grief / loss

I also have a particular passion for working with those wishing to, or who have started embarking on a self development/authentic living journey. Very much following along the lines of great teachers such as Brené Brown and Ekhart Tolle.

I have a deeply empathetic, relational approach that Is intuitive and integrated; so tailored around the specific needs of each individual client. Staying open to working with my clients in the most supportive mode for them at that time is an important part of my work. I am ready, capable and dedicated to assist clients in exploring the cause and way forward through their current difficulties, whatever they maybe.

My own personal journey through childhood, marriage and motherhood kickstarted my desire to work in the emotional/mental health space, with a focus on healing trauma, living authentically, deepening relationships and breaking free of unhealthy thought processes, behaviour patterns and belief systems. I am deeply passionate about relationships and connections as I recognise that they are the cornerstone to life and wellness.

I draw on the following therapeutic approaches: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), ACT, compassion focused therapy, Humanistic Therapies, Person centred psychotherapy, Existential psychotherapy, Gestalt psychotherapy, and mindfulness therapy.
