My name is Christophe & I have been practicing as a therapist since 2020. I graduated from a Masters in Counselling & Psychotherapy, and completed three levels of accredited Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) training all through
the University of Strathclyde. In 2023 I completed two certified EMDR training programs with the Counselling Academy & EMDR Centre London. Most recently, I have completed a post graduate certificate in Psychological Trauma, The Bump2Baby&Beyond Programme in: Perinatal and Ongoing Parental Mental Health Accredited Professional, and Autism/ADHD awareness training.
I have worked in charity and education services including a sexual violence support service. My therapy journey has brought me to helping people with a wide range of issues, so I'm confident that together I can help you with any of the following: Bereavement, Domestic Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Sexual Abuse, Stress and Anxiety, Depression, Divorce, Relationship issues, Childhood Trauma, Cultural Diversity, Racial Identity. Of course, this is not an exhaustive list so do get in touch to discuss how we can work on getting you to a more emotionally fulfilled place in your life. Whatever it is you need support with I’m committed to helping you bloom with grace, wherever life has planted you.
I have also helped people from a diverse range of backgrounds and upbringings, and I bring a culturally sensitive attitude to our work so that regardless of our differences, you can still expect a high-quality safe and non-judgemental therapeutic connection with me.
In your sessions, you are the expert of your own life. I’m here to walk alongside you, providing a non-judgmental and compassionate environment where you can explore your feelings and experiences at your own pace. I believe that each person has an innate ability to grow and heal, and my role is to help you tap into that strength.
Emotions are at the heart of our experiences, often driving our thoughts and behaviours. Through EFT, we’ll work together to better understand your emotional world, helping you to process and transform painful emotions into ones that can empower you. This can lead to deeper self-awareness and positive change.
Trauma can leave deep, painful imprints, affecting how you feel about yourself and interact with the world. EMDR is a powerful, research-backed method that helps to safely process and heal traumatic memories. Using a structured approach, we’ll work together to reduce the emotional impact of these memories, allowing you to move forward with greater ease and confidence.
My practice is holistic in its approach, meaning that I recognise how the mind, body, and spirit are interconnected. This provides us with an opportunity to heal on a deeper level instead of focusing on singular symptoms or diagnosis. We will work to bring awareness to your thoughts and feelings as they are experienced in the moment through a blend of breath-work, guided imagery, mindful practices and nervous system regulating activities. This is a great approach to healing trauma as you're learning how to calm your body and mind though regulating your emotions & nervous system. You will set the stage to allow your brain and body to heal and process stored trauma.
In our work together, my primary focus is to ensure that you feel safe and supported. Healing is a personal journey, and I’m here to create a space where you can explore that journey without fear or pressure. I will help you to better understand who you are, and to identify unhelpful emotions patterns that have you feeling stuck in life. By working through difficult and unprocessed emotions, you will learn to set better boundaries, improve your emotional intelligence, and lead a happier and fuller life.
