My name is Christina, though most people call me Chrissy. I am a qualified, person-centred and trauma-informed counsellor, offering a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space for adults aged 18 and over.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward right now. Whatever has brought you here, you don’t have to face it alone. I offer a space where you can talk openly, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what’s going on for you.

My approach is person-centred, which means I will work alongside you with empathy, honesty, and respect, always keeping you at the heart of the process. Being trauma-informed means I understand how past experiences can affect how you feel in the present, and I will always work in a way that helps you feel safe, in control, and never pressured.

I work with adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and low self-esteem, as well as many other challenges life can bring. Together, we can explore what’s happening for you at a pace that feels right.

Everyone’s experience is different, so I take a flexible and collaborative approach, tailoring sessions to your individual needs. You may be looking for short-term support to work through a specific issue, or longer-term therapy to understand yourself more deeply – whatever you need, we can figure that out together.

Sessions are 50 minutes long. I offer in-person counselling from my private, comfortable space at The Barracks Business Centre in Pontefract, as well as online sessions via Google Meet and telephone counselling across the UK.

My aim is to help you feel understood, supported, and more able to move forward with clarity, confidence, and self-awareness.

If you feel this might be the approach you need, you’re very welcome to get in touch.

I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am fully insured, DBS checked, and registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office, offering a professional and confidential service you can trust.

I work hard to keep my session fees as affordable as possible, while offering a professional and supportive space for clients. I also offer a small number of concession-rate spaces for students (18+), student counsellors, and older adults (65+), as part of my commitment to making counselling more accessible.

Having previously volunteered with Wakefield Women’s Centre before its recent closure, as well as my previous experience working within a low-cost counselling service, I’ve seen first-hand how vital affordable support can be. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to access counselling, regardless of financial circumstances.

If the price of sessions feels like a barrier preventing you from reaching out, please get in touch and we can discuss my concessionary rates.
