I offer a range of different services, each is designed to support the child explore feelings and connection, challenges and success in a safe and confidential space. Leading them to overcome obstacles in their own time and encourage them to thrive.
The Benefits of Christine Therapy are:
Develop self-esteem
Christine therapy offers children a space where positive identity can be nurtured and affirmed through creative play and exercises.
Children do not always have the language skills to convey what they are feeling in words, specially if they experience traumatic events at very young ages. Being able to express themselves and articulate feelings enables them to feel understood and develop emotional awareness in way which suits them, which supports good self esteem.
Offer a space for creative expression
I believe that creativity is the key to personal growth and success. At Christine Therapy trustworthiness and individual attention mixed with play therapy enhance creativity and can lead to positive change within the family and educational system.
Build confidence
Feeling valued, heard, understood and connecting with positive aspects of the self in therapy can build confidence.
How do I work?
My approach to working with children is holistic, drawing upon a range of modalities that use communication tools and exercises in order to support the child explore their feelings and learn new adaptive ways to express themselves – through play.
My professional pathway to a synthesis of attachment theory with play therapy was through an early training in cognitive behavioural therapy followed by a training in family therapy and the opportunity over the years to work with families and children.
