About me and my therapy practice
Welcome to your journey of self-discovery, empowerment and transformation.
I’m Chris Espinelli, a professional integrative counsellor and now a certified life coach, based in West Yorkshire, England.
I have experience supporting women who have experienced divorce and abusive relationships—particularly domestic and emotional abuse—I am committed to helping you reclaim your life, rebuild self-love, confidence, and emotional independence.
My mission is to help you stop people-pleasing, find your voice and learn to say NO, set boundaries that will protect your peace and happiness, accept who you are, discover your potential of who you can become and help you Be in a happy and healthy relationship with yourself.
• Do you struggle with saying “no” because you fear disappointing others? Together, we’ll work on building your confidence, so you can stand up for yourself without guilt.
• Setting boundaries is one thing—maintaining them is another. Boundaries are essential for healthy relationships—especially with yourself. I’ll support you in defining what you will and won’t tolerate, and we’ll work on practical ways to keep those boundaries in place.
• Self-acceptance is the foundation of happiness and a fulfilling life. I’ll help you embrace your embrace your strengths and vulnerabilities, let go of unrealistic expectations, and cultivate self-compassion.
• Discover Your Potential: Who do you want to become? I believe every woman has untapped potential. In our sessions we will learn your strengths, passions, and possibilities for the future.
• Are you constantly putting others’ needs before your own? We will explore what beliefs are behind this behaviour and break the cycle of people-pleasing.
• Ultimately, my goal is to help you develop a deep, loving relationship with yourself. This is the key to lasting happiness, self-confidence, and the ability to create fulfilling relationships with others.
Practice description
By integrating my new coaching skills with my counselling experience, including as a Solution Focus Therapist, I offer a holistic approach to personal growth and emotional healing.
My work style is to offer a unique blend of emotional support, practical strategies, and personal empowerment.
My main focus is to provide a safe environment and non-judgemental. My approach is culturally and religiously sensitive and my ultimate goal is to help my clients to be emotional independent, build confidence in themselves, set healthy boundaries, recover from people pleasing and finally to have a better life.
My approach is also compassionate, yet strategic, ensuring you have the tools and confidence to move forward.
With my holistic approach I blend therapeutic techniques with actionable coaching strategies to ensure that you not only heal from past wounds but also step into a future where you are in control.
Now I would like to you to Imagine a life where you can confidently say "no" without guilt, where your boundaries are respected, where you no longer feel pressured to please others at the expense of your own happiness. You started to accept who you are and understand your potential, and you will have a better relationship, happy and healthy with yourself.
Could you picture it? Trust me, it is possible and you can do it.
