Trauma Informed Counselling
Christine Aldridge - FDA MBACP
(BACP Registered Member 383500)
Life can feel overwhelming at times, whether you're facing trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, depression or major life changes - you don't have to go through this alone
Integrative approach
I provide a tailored approach to your well-being, whereby my integrative approach combines psychodynamic and person-centred theory.
Psychodynamic counselling
This is a framework which helps explore our human behaviour, emotions, inner conflict, and personality, which develops through our early childhood experiences, and is mainly driven by our unconscious mind.
This exploration is a powerful opportunity to explore how your experiences have shaped your relationship with yourself and how you experience others and the world around you. This approach provides you with a deeper understanding of self.
When we bring our unconscious processes forward, into our awareness - only then can we bring change.
Person-centred counselling
This is a holistic, non directive approach whereby I provide you with unconditional positive regard, empathy and a genuine supportive environment for you to explore your feelings.
You are the expert of you own experience and I will support you to reach your own conclusions.
This approach will support you to build self confidence, to help you realise your own strengths and gain deeper self-awareness in a safe, confidential space.
Support offered
I can support you with a variety of issues. You don't need to know exactly what the root cause of your difficulties and sense of unease are. I welcome you to step into the courage to explore this together.
I have worked with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, veteran support, relationship difficulties, trauma, PTSD, low self-esteem, addiction, grief, and life stress, but not limited to.
Remote counselling benefits
My hope is remote working will offer you the convenience of accessible, private counselling. I offer a secure video platform to ensure your comfort, privacy and confidentiality.
"Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me and encouraging me on this new journey of living"
