Christine Mcgarvey

I qualified on a BACP Accredited course nearly 20 years ago and have extensive experience working with individuals, couples and young people. I offer short and long-term counselling

I believe passionately in our potential for growth and development from wherever our starting place.

I aim to develop a supportive relationship creating a safe space for exploring feelings, thoughts and experiences. I believe the therapeutic process can bring about insight and understanding, along with greater self-awareness and emotional growth, leading to more choices, achieving a greater sense of balance and fulfilment. I endeavor to build a relationship where you feel accepted for who you are.

I have extensive experience of working with young people and have worked as a counsellor in different Educational settings.

Within my private practice I offer supervion and provide short term solution focussed counselling for local and national Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP) 

I also work part-time as  Core Tutor for a Level 4 Therapeutic Counselling Diploma, which is accredited by Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Award Body (CPCAB).

I have special interest in families, having worked widely with mothers and babies in my role as a counsellor and as a qualified Lactation Consultant.

I have extensive experience as a trainer working for the NHS, children centres and private companies.
