Counselling by the Coast
Hello, I’m Chrissie, an aspiring counsellor with a specialisation in person-centred therapy, located along the picturesque North Norfolk coast. My background encompasses over three years of intensive training with CPCAB (Level 2 and 3 in counselling), coupled with three years of valuable experience in the field of mental health. To maintain the highest ethical standards in my counselling practice and provide optimal support to my clients, I consistently engage in monthly supervision sessions with a qualified clinical supervisor. Therefore, I can provide my services at low cost as a trainee counsellor.
Working using person centred approach means that I have experience in the here and now with my knowledge expanding into psychodynamic counselling, I am able to tailor my approach to the individual and your unique needs. I consider you as the whole person and have you at the very centre of all our work. I am always led by you, to keep you safe and grounded.
Are you struggling to understand your feelings? Are you wondering why you feel this way? Feeling confused?
I provide a safe, non-judgemental space for you to explore any worries or concerns that you have. I’m able to provide Mindfulness which can be helpful with anxiety, giving you coping mechanisms and grounding techniques for managing panic attacks and anxiety. Whilst also working out what may be causing them or triggering you. It is important for you to connect with your Counsellor, so I offer an initial consultation for up to 30 minutes at a discounted rate, to help you decide if I am the right therapist for you and have the right skills to support and guide you. This allows you to discuss your concerns, understand how I work and for us both to decide if we would like to work together.
The first session (initial consultation) is at a reduced fee of £15. All following sessions would be £25 for a 55 minute session (block booking is available with a free 6th session)
I can work with anxiety, depression, and people who have or are relatives/partners of people with learning disabilities and chronic health conditions, like: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, ME, Long Covid etc. I also work with relationship issues, stress and generalised anxiety, grief, abuse, bereavement, anger, low self-esteem, family issues, self-defeating behaviours (such as habits), eating disorders and goal achievement. I work with individuals who have ADHD, ADD and Autism or giving support whilst waiting for an assessment. Whilst some of these may be beyond my capabilities I am able to offer support in referrals, and signposting as well as a listening ear.
I hope you will allow me to be part of your journey.
