Counselling can be helpful for anyone experiencing a dip in self-confidence, a change in mood, feelings of anxiety, depression, sadness, feeling angry, alone or isolated. All of these can be responses to something that has changed; a new development; for example, a sudden loss, a change in the workplace or educational setting, a relationship breakdown, or in something that, however hard you try, just feels too difficult at the moment.

The purpose of counselling is to provide a safe and confidential space, built on trust to talk openly through issues that may be causing you concern.

By talking in a counselling session, sometimes we gain new insight and an understanding of a problem and a possible next step, to help find a way to move forward.

In addition to using a Person-Centred approach, I find that sharing strategies and tools can be helpful. Together we would be exploring new ways to overcome a problem, while validating you  as the expert on  yourself. 

At the  first session, in order  to get  to know each other, we would complete an assessment  to find out whether my way  of working as a counsellor could be helpful for you. 

My name is Christine and I am an experienced  teacher of Counselling.  Working  in a Further Education setting  as well as an experienced  trainer  for Cruse Bereavement Care, teaching on  Counselling  Supervisory and  Children Young Peoples programmes.   I am  an advocate for the Counselling profession and always willing to share knowledge with those seeking to train, as  counsellor or in a supervisory capacity.  As a Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ accredited counsellor, I work in Private Practice as well as for Dorset Mind.  When teaching and training I seek to create an attentive listening  relationship, in a relaxed learning  environment.  Why not give me a call for an informal conversation, to see if  the training aspect of  the  practice  could be of  any assistance to you: 07973 123054

At present I offer  Counselling and Supervisory teaching and training via Zoom or Teams. In addition, I provide Tutoring support via Zoom,  Skype, or telephone, as  face to face  teaching, in Further Education is restricted due the current guidelines. 

If you are seeking to work with me in a  teaching or training  capacity or for tutoring support, the first session would be  an opportunity to meet and establish whether I could meet your needs.

 I m am a CPCAB  Level 6 qualified supervisor, providing supervision in three practice locations: Ferndown, (Dorset), Eastleigh and Winchester (Hampshire). I have extensive experience working as a supervisor with charitable organisations and Counsellors/Psychotherapists working in Private Practice.

As part of CAB Counselling Services, the practice provides group and 1:1 supervision. Currently, on line, in response to the current restrictions. I seek to provide a welcoming and 'holding' supervision service. I have experience of supervising in National agencies, including the Blind Society,  as well as the privilege of working with qualified, fellow professional Counsellors, Trainee Counsellors and Supervisor's themselves.

I am qualified to work  in supervision, for  adults, children and young people. 

The initial session will be centred on building a rapport and getting to know each other,. By establishing supervisory needs, and  a review of specialisms, we can ensure  compatibility, in terms of modality, so you can be certain that I can meet your supervisory needs.
