Christine Gooddy, BACP

Christine Gooddy brings 13 years of experience working with groups of adult survivors of historic abuse as well as one-to-one clients, offering support across a broad range of emotional challenges. She trained in Person Centred counselling - an approach that places the client at the heart of the work - and has evolved her practice into a more integrative style, adapting methods to meet each person’s needs.

She speaks from personal experience with depression and understands how difficult the pathway to recovery can feel. Much of her clinical focus has been on trauma and the emotional consequences that follow, and she has completed additional training to deepen her understanding of how the mind and body interact to shape responses.

Christine values the therapeutic connection and believes that benefit depends on a felt rapport between therapist and client. She is described by her work as calm and compassionate, and she draws on strategies she has used herself to manage an inner critic and develop healthier coping skills. Her long experience with survivors has taught her that there is no single solution - different approaches work for different people - and she tailors her support accordingly.

She holds the BACP credential - a designation connected to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
