Christine Jarvis

I offer a warm, safe, therapeutic space for you to talk about what is on your mind.  Life can be challenging at times,  overwhelming, stressful, just becoming too much.  Sometimes we all need a little bit of support to help us through. 

My aim is that together we will build a safe, confidential, space where you can share your deepest thoughts and feelings. We can work towards finding answers, solutions and strategies, enabling you to regain balance and ultimately thrive in all aspects of your life.

As a Person-Centred Counsellor I specialise in client led therapy, placing you at the heart of the process, to help you explore and understand matters that are troubling you. I am led by you to talk about what you want to talk about. 

I may draw on techniques from different types of therapy to tailor an approach specifically for you.

I have experience working with adults of all ages with a range of life issues including anxiety and depression, bereavement and loss, low self-esteem, workplace issues, relationship difficulties, sexual abuse, domestic violence and eating disorders/body image.

 I passionately believe that everyone deserves support. I work inclusively, accepting you as you are. It is okay to express emotion, be vulnerable.

My Location 

In person counselling sessions are from a quiet, private, confidential room in my home.

I also offer online and telephone counselling to anywhere in the UK.

I cover Uttoxeter and surrounding areas, including Ashbourne, Burton, Draycott in the Clay. I am only a couple of miles off the A50 from the Sudbury roundabout.

It is really important that you get on with your Counsellor, that you trust them to support you at perhaps one of the most challenging times of your life. Following your initial enquiry I will contact you to agree a time and date for a 15-20 minute telephone call giving you the opportunity to ask any questions as well as getting to know each other a little.   There is no obligation, my aim is to help you decide whether I am the right Counsellor for you.    From there, if you are comfortable, we will arrange your first session.    Sessions usually last a 50 - 55 minutes.
