Christina has always been extremely supportive throughout my journey and very reassuring which has helped massively with my self-development. Her approach is very caring and she is very passionate about helping people through difficult times by using self-love techniques to grow self-esteem. Since having therapy, I am able to cope better with stress and manage my compulsive behaviour so that it's not self-destructive anymore. I am happier in myself day-to-day thanks to Christina's support and guidance. I would definitely recommend seeing Christina.
