Services

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Crissy uses CBT to address a wide range of emotional difficulties. This structured and collaborative form of therapy helps clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are connected. Together, you’ll develop strategies that lead to lasting change.

CBT can be especially helpful for those experiencing:

• Depression

• Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

• Panic Attacks

• Social Anxiety

• Health Anxiety

• Low self-worth

Rather than simply managing symptoms, Crissy helps clients build practical skills that empower them to move forward.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)

For individuals dealing with trauma, Crissy offers EMDR therapy. This method is particularly effective for processing distressing memories caused by:

• Road accidents

• Assaults

• Other single-event traumas

Using guided techniques, Crissy helps clients safely revisit and reprocess these memories so they no longer feel overwhelming or intrusive.

Integrative Therapy & Mindfulness

Instead of relying on one fixed method, Crissy blends a range of therapeutic models. She draws from mindfulness, emotional awareness, and cognitive techniques to create a personalised therapeutic experience. This flexibility allows clients to explore what resonates most with their personal journey.

Whether you’re new to therapy or have had support before, integrative therapy encourages meaningful insight and progress.

Online Counselling & Therapy

Crissy also offers online sessions for those who prefer or require remote support. These virtual appointments are conducted via secure, encrypted platforms, ensuring confidentiality and convenience. Clients across the UK can access therapy without the need to travel.

Professional Supervision & Training

In addition to client work, Crissy provides clinical supervision for trainee and qualified therapists. Drawing from her BPS-approved training and extensive experience, she offers thoughtful guidance and support. Furthermore, she runs training workshops designed to expand therapeutic knowledge and skills.
