Christie Hill

Christie Hill provides strong listening skills and a supportive space where clients feel able to open up to be seen and heard. Christie provides a supportive space, with the focus and best interest of the client at the heart of sessions. Christie follows a person centred approach giving the client agency to guide their own journey of change, at their own pace. Where useful, Christie can blend this with a psychodynamic approach to explore past histories and patterns of relating, to help clients gain awareness and empathy for themselves. For when counselling feels daunting, Christie provides a safe and welcoming environment to come into. For when counselling needs to bring change, Christie works with clients to give a focus and set expectations.

With a background working in the creative industries, Christie creates space for self expression, understanding challenging or difficult emotions and accepting shame or guilt. Christie has experience of working with a range of life stories and experiences. She understands the implications of working in high pressure environments, coping with stress and pressure at work or home, coping with financial challenges, dealing with challenging relationships, working with people with different priorities and managing stress. She works to create an environment where clients can practice being more open and honest versions of themselves, providing a positive environment for change.

Christie Hill is an integrative counsellor and is registered with the BACP. She works within The Awareness Centre’s NHS patients in Lambeth, and is currently working towards an advanced diploma in integrative counselling.
