About

January 2023 – Christina’s list is currently full, she is not able to take on new clients at present

Hi my name is Christina Jassi, I have over 17 years’ experience working in the National Health Service (NHS). I have been developing my private practice since April 2019. I work with individuals from age 12 upwards, with no upper age limit.

My approach to therapy is that I believe each person is unique, I therefore take the time to ensure I have a good understanding of your unique experiences and difficulties, and will tailor treatment based on your needs. I also take into consideration the role individual and larger contextual factors can have, including relationships, work, cultural and spirituality.

I believe one of my key strengths is in my ability to foster good relationships with others. I will therefore work to ensure we develop a good trusting relationship, supporting you to feel safe and secure enough to explore your difficulties and work towards positive change.

• The full range of anxiety disorders (including phobias)

• Co-morbid physical and mental health difficulties.

Testimonials:

“Over the last 3 years I have experienced anxiety and panic attacks and it just got more challenging each time to overcome. I specifically find the physical symptoms of anxiety hard to deal with ; the racing heart, chest tightness, difficulty breathing, feeling sick and even being sick. I was in a vicious cycle of worrying about being anxious and when I met Christina in June i couldn’t see a way pass this constant anxiety. I was really nervous before our first session but straight away she made me feel really comfortable and that it was a safe space to voice my concerns and issues that I was facing. She has a very empathetic approach which made me feel heard and validated. Over the last 8 sessions we have been doing CBT which has helped me understand my emotions and has given me the tools to be able to deal with my anxieties. The difference in myself and the things I have achieved during this time are amazing and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her, and for that I am truly grateful. We are now starting a new therapy called EDMR, looking into early experiences I had that may be stuck and contributing to the anxiety I experience now. If there is anyone reading this that hasn’t yet reached out to Christina, I urge that you do. She has helped me change my life for the better and I would definitely recommend her services.”

“I’ve been working with Christina for several months now. Since a personal relationship broke down at the start of the year, I have been experiencing lots of anxiety and feelings of low self-worth & low self-confidence.
When I think of the qualities I look for in a psychotherapist, I want someone who is calm, patient, caring, empathetic. Someone willing to listen and who learns to understand me as a person and the challenges I am facing, offering support and guidance – unafraid to ask those difficult questions that get to the root cause of my mental health problems.
Christina has these qualities and does all of this and much more!
Working with Christina, she has helped me to understand and better manage/resolve some of my mental health problems which, at times, have been quite raw, painful and upsetting. But her kind, sensitive and empathetic treatment of me has meant it has been an enjoyable experience too.
There has been no strict format to our sessions. We have allowed them to go in whatever direction my mind or my body have taken us. She has created an open and safe space in which I can be trusting and share with her even the most personal of thoughts and experiences. And it is through this trust that we have managed to make significant progress on my road to recovery.
I would highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for counselling support to deal with their own challenges. With her, you are in very safe and capable hands.”
