Christine Hart

I offer one-to-one therapy for children, teenagers, young adults and adults.

Sessions are usually one hour and are available by telephone, Zoom or in person where appropriate. Many clients prefer telephone sessions as they allow you to relax in your own space and speak freely without feeling observed.

My standard fee is £65 per session, with concession rates available for young people and students.

If you would like to see whether we might work well together, you are welcome to arrange a free 15-minute introductory call. The easiest way to do this is to send a WhatsApp message and we can arrange a convenient time.

I am a BACP registered psychotherapist working with children, teenagers, young adults and adults who are experiencing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, trauma, loss of confidence or a sense that life has become difficult to navigate.

Many people come to therapy because something in their life no longer feels stable. Parents may be worried about a teenager who has become withdrawn or anxious, a young adult may feel lost or overwhelmed by the pressures of modern life, or an adult may feel they have slowly lost their sense of direction after stress, grief or relationship difficulties.

My role is to provide a space where these experiences can be understood and worked through safely.

Over the past thirty years I have studied psychological healing approaches internationally, exploring different ways people recover emotional balance and reconnect with themselves. This has included studying primal therapy in Los Angeles alongside trauma-informed psychotherapy, parts-based approaches, emotional processing methods and gentle hypnotic techniques that can help access deeper emotional patterns.

Alongside my clinical work I have also worked as a journalist and author. I am a Sunday Times bestselling writer published by Hodder & Stoughton, and a former Fleet Street investigative journalist whose work appeared in national newspapers including the Sunday Times and the Daily Mail. I have also appeared on BBC Radio and the BBC World Service discussing psychological recovery and human behaviour.

In therapy sessions I focus on understanding what is happening beneath the surface of anxiety, anger or emotional withdrawal. Many clients find that once these deeper emotional patterns become clear, they begin to feel calmer, more confident and better able to move forward.

Sessions are available by telephone, Zoom or in person where appropriate. I also offer a free 15-minute introductory call so that you can ask questions and decide whether working together feels right for you. 

Many clients arrive feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected from themselves. Teenagers may be struggling with school pressure, friendships or confidence. Young adults often feel lost about direction or identity, and adults may be navigating stress, grief, relationship changes or burnout.

In sessions I listen carefully to understand what is happening beneath the surface of thoughts and emotions. Often anxiety, anger or withdrawal are signals that deeper emotional patterns need attention.

My work combines psychotherapy, emotional processing, parts-based exploration and gentle hypnotic techniques that can help people access feelings and memories that are difficult to reach through conversation alone.

Alongside this deeper work I also teach practical grounding skills that help clients manage anxiety and emotional overwhelm in everyday life.

Sessions are collaborative and paced carefully so that people feel safe, understood and able to explore difficult experiences without feeling pushed.

Many clients begin to feel clearer, calmer and more connected with themselves as therapy progresses.

I work with children, teenagers, young adults and adults, offering sessions by telephone, Zoom or in person where appropriate. A free 15-minute introductory call is available so you can ask questions and decide whether working together feels right.

During our first session you can talk about whatever has brought you here, whether that is anxiety, stress, problems at school or work, or a sense that something in life is no longer quite right. 

i often ask clients to go through life histories to listen to how past events may be effecting current life situations. 

My first task is to listen intuitively and carefully. I pay close attention not only to what people say, but also to the tone of their voice and the emotional pressure and breaks underneath it.

That tone always tells us where the real difficulty lies and where parts have been lost or cracks formed.

I may begin techniques such as hypnosis or emotional processing to help me understand what's lying deeper beneath the surface.

Many people say that they feel relief and change after just one session and I work towards our first session being a breakthrough session.
