Christine Cartin

As a qualified integrative therapist I provide a range of pluralistic approaches to address issues such as; stress, anxiety, self esteem, compulsions, attachment difficulties, relationship and sex therapy and addictions, including specialising in pornography and sex addiction, to adults, partners and couples. Initially, offering an assessment and then agreeing the work undertaken, dependant upon the issues raised and looking at what is right for the individual or couple presenting. I use a wide range of therapeutic models; CBT and Schema work, Psychodynamic, Solution Focused and Motivational work, Attachment and Relationship interventions, Sex Therapy and others.    

If someone makes an enquiry then I will follow this up with an informal conversation and then arrange an appointment. I will then send out a registration form and contract which will provide details of my working practice, which include confidentiality, data protection, payment and all other relevant information. 

My first session offers the opportunity to begin to build the therapeutic relationship and to decide whether working together is right for the client. It also gives a safe space to explore why the person is attending therapy and to look at the specific needs of the individual or couple
