Christine McGarvey

 I’m an experienced senior accredited BACP counsellor and a UKCP registered Integrative Psychotherapist working with clients and couples online. I have stayed on the Shetland Islands and have a sense of the uniqueness and the landscape of this beautiful place.

My approach offers you a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental place for you to explore your feelings, thoughts and experiences. I work from where you are, developing a supportive relationship where you feel accepted. I am committed to the quality of our relationship as it offers the potential for healing and change.

In my experience, the therapeutic process can bring about insight and understanding, along with greater self-awareness and emotional growth. This, in turn, leads to more choices, which may help us achieve a greater sense of balance and fulfilment in our lives. Working in relationship offers you the opportunity to become aware of patterns in your life, and the ways in which you may be interrupting its flow. It also offers a greater understanding and strengthening of your relationship with yourself, creating the potential for healing and change.

I use an integrative trauma informed approach, which means I draw on an extensive range of theory and practice to support my intention to create a way of working which is tailored to you.

Couples

Working together with both partners, we explore how you communicate as a couple and as individuals. My focus is on creating a supportive environment so we can work through your relationship challenges and difficulties to increase awareness, mutual understanding and choices. Working in a safe, neutral, empathic environment I support authentic communication, deepening understanding of each other. I am interested in what you bring from your past in the ways that you relate to each other in the present. We will work together to look at what's behind patterns of behaviour and communication with the hope of reaching the most appropriate outcome for you both.

I am a senior accredited counsellor with BACP and a registered Integrative Psychotherapist with UKCP, with over ten years’ experience of counselling NHS staff, teachers and emergency workers through Employment Assistance Programmes. I offer private therapy nationwide, working with individuals, couples and on a short and long-term basis. I  provide supervision specializing in working with trainee counsellors and work part time as a university tutor.

I have a special interest in families and parenting, having worked widely with couples, mothers, and babies in my role as a therapist and when qualified as a Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I have extensive experience as a trainer in the NHS, public health programmes, children’s centres, and private companies.

I am committed to my own personal and professional development, through therapy, supervision and CPD courses.

Supervision

I provide individual and group supervision for practitioners and trainees I have been teaching and leading on counselling courses from Level IV CPCAB Counselling Diploma and BA(Hons) Counselling Studies and understand the unique needs of students on placement. It is my inherent view that supervision is only valuable when we feel able to bring all of ourselves into the space and can trust the process as it unfolds. My relational approach creates a safe, warm and inviting space for you to feel able to allow all aspects of your Being to be present and visible, whilst creating the supervision space together alongside a highly practical approach to holding you and your clients.

Qualifications

• UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) registered Integrative Psychotherapist. Scarborough Counselling and Psychotherapy Training Institute

• Accredited Member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)

• Certificate in Working with Couples. Leeds Psychotherapy Training Institute

• Diploma Humanistic Counselling (BACP Recognised Course) 1994. Northern Guild for Psychological Solutions (Formally SPTI)

I understand it is important for you to find the right therapist, therefore, I offer an initial session, which is for one hour, at a reduced fee of £40.00. This gives us the opportunity to explore what is going on for you and for you to gain a sense of how I work and to see if we would be able to work effectively together. Please be aware if you are emailing do keep an eye on your junk mail in case my reply ends up there.
