About me and my therapy practice

Hello and welcome to my page. My name is Christian and I am a professional and experienced counsellor. I am also a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (麻豆原创) 麻豆原创 No. 749580 and have been qualified since 2015.

I am a qualified and experienced Trauma focused & Informed counsellor as well as a CBT Practitioner. I work well with all mental health conditions regardless of how complex they may seem, which include Complex PTSD, Dissociative disorders, Bi-Polar, ADHD & Nuero Diversity, Anxiety, Depression and Panic Attacks.

I specialise in working with Trauma, Abuse, Grief/Loss and addiction issues through working with the Trauma recovery model, which includes the three phased model.

Through my continuous learning throughout my counselling career, I have also gained a wide range of experience in working with dissociative disorders including DID and flashbacks.

Most people in their lifetime have experienced some sort of Trauma, hurt or pain they walk around with this hidden and generally keep this hidden to themselves for most of their lifetime. They hide this pain away from the rest of the world, but live with it in secret to themselves, walking around with this pain and misery which can keep them in turmoil for many years. it is when they are on their own that they get a true sense of how much it hurts and how it impacts their life.

Is it time to stop suffering and hurting from those past experiences and events in your lifetime?

Life can be difficult enough without those trauma's in your life. It can also present events and experiences that can stay with you forever.

I understand that it can take a lot of faith and courage to be able to walk through these events with someone else. I know that this can be a difficult and even sometimes feel like an impossible task.

I have a wide range of knowledge and understanding, and with that comes a continued growth of experience.

Practice description

I am someone who can help you with past hurts and pains, that haunt you. To help and understand strong emotions. To find who you really are and provide emotional support. Trauma Treatment within the trauma recovery model. To explore difficult Relationships.

I offer a safe space where you can heal, grow and change from such hurts and events in your lifetime. A space where we can try to find that calm and quiet place within. I believe that we all have the potential to find that calm and safe space within ourselves regardless of what pain we are carrying around with us.

making the decision to make those first steps, can be difficult, daunting and overwhelming. I understand this and will give you a calm and safe space to process, those past hurts. I am here to try and make it, as comforting as possible.

I work alongside you, helping to make sense of the past hurts and dysfunctional relationships. Looking at your family of origin, up to the current date, reflecting on the past and how it impacts on the present and looking at stabilising, educating and working towards healing from such events.

Then finally working with, the now, what is next and how to live in the current times, after therapy with the tools, resources and understanding that you have gained through this process.

I work within a Trauma recovery focussed way of working and believe, that everyone with the right conditions can recover from the effects of trauma, no matter how complex it may seem.

I have worked with many different types of mental health conditions, including dual diagnosis.

I draw on various therapeutic models, depending on the reason that brought you too therapy. Including Trauma recovery, Polyvagal therapy, Parts work, sensorimotor therapy, CBT, attachment issues, Gestalt, mindfulness and many more including, working with ACES.

My first session

The first session can be quite difficult for some people to attend, But I will do my best to try and make that process and comfortable as possible.

this will be an opportunity for us too meet and for us both to engage into a discussion around what has brought you into therapy.

I will engage into asking some light questions, some about the past, some about the present, looking into your coping mechanisms.

The looking at your hopes around coming to therapy, what you might expect, from your time hear.
