Christine Chalmers

Start your healing journey with Tranquil Minds. I offer face-to-face counselling for adults, children, and young people.

Whether you are seeking clarity, healing, or personal growth, I believe that you hold the answers within yourself and my role is to help you uncover them through empathy, understanding, and gentle guidance.

Specialising in working with children, young people, and adults, I provide support for a wide range of issues including anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem, trauma, grief and loss, suicidal ideation and self-harm.

My path into Counselling began during my 16 years in education. I first earned a BA (Hons) in Professional Studies in Childhood and Youth, which inspired me to pursue further training. This led to my completion of a Level 5 Diploma in Counselling and Theory.

As a person-centred and integrative counsellor I am dedicated to fostering a warm, inclusive, and confidential space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and challenges freely.

My approach is empathetic, non-judgmental, and compassionate, ensuring that you feel supported throughout your personal journey of self-exploration and growth. You will always have the opportunity to set the pace of our sessions together.

I have primarily worked with children, young adults and adults, helping them navigate a range of issues, including anger management, low self-esteem, anxiety, stress, panic attacks, family dynamics, depression, bullying, negative thoughts, trauma, LGBTQ+, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and sexual abuse. Additionally, I have supported individuals coping with grief, loss, and terminal illnesses.

With a gentle and caring approach, I assist clients in working through trauma, expressing emotions, and overcoming personal challenges. My goal is to empower you to heal, grow, and thrive. I believe that committing to counselling is an investment in your future and well-being.

In our first session together I will go through an agreed contract with you. Additionally, I will get you to complete an assessment regarding your mood and feelings over the past 2 weeks, which assists me in supporting you going forwards.  Then in your own time, I will ask you what has brought you to counselling.

You are the expert of your life, and together, with you setting the direction and pace, we can find solutions to help you strive in your life.
