Christine Buckley

My Name is Chrissy and I am a Qualified Psychodynamic counsellor working in Reigate in Surrey.

Whatever it is that brings you here I am delighted that you have made it this far. Perhaps you are wondering if counselling is a good next step for you? I encourage you to get in touch and we can wonder together. You don’t need to be sure exactly what it is you want out of counselling at this stage, we can figure it out as we go.

Coming to counselling can feel a bit daunting, especially for the first time. I believe that counselling is for everyone, from a journey of inner exploration to wrestling with big feelings, everything is welcome in my counselling room.

My ultimate goal is to help you reclaim the person you were always meant to be.

I am psychodynamically trained, meaning I work by helping you think about how your past has shaped you and how that affects your life and relationships today. I take pride in forming a meaningful connection with my clients. You are not just a job to me, I am honored each time someone choses to include me in their journey. I aim to make all my clients feel safe to open up about their experiences, struggles and inner life.

I work out of St John's church in Redhill. St John's takes pride in being an inclusive church where everyone is welcome. I work in an upstairs room that is accessible by lift. There is some parking but space is limited at some times of the day. If you are able to walk for a couple of minutes there is plenty of parking in surrounding streets, if this is a difficulty for you let me know and I will work with the church to do what we can to accommodate you.

St John's is a 10 minute walk away from Earlswood train station and 20 minutes away from Redhill train and bus stations.

If you are interested in working with me, get in touch and I will get back to you to arrange a free 15 min call. During the call you can tell me what brings you to counselling. The call is an opportunity to see if we click and for you to ask any questions you might have.

In the first session I will explain a bit about how the process will work and then I will ask specific questions to help me understand more about who you are and what your experiences have been. In some cases this may take more than one session. After this assessment I will take a few days to consider if I am the right counsellor for you before we continue.
