Christine Gooddy , BACP

Christine Gooddy has spent 13 years supporting adult survivors of historic abuse, offering both group programmes and one-to-one therapy tailored to a wide range of needs. She trained in Person-Centred counselling, a client-centred approach that places the individual at the heart of the work, and now adapts that foundation into an integrative practice to suit each person she meets.

Having lived with depression herself, she brings personal insight into how difficult recovery can feel and how important it is to find practical, sustainable strategies. Much of her clinical work focuses on trauma and the emotional responses that follow, and she has undertaken additional training to deepen her understanding of how mind and body interact and influence behaviour.

Christine emphasises the importance of a felt connection between therapist and client, believing that therapy is most effective when the relationship is experienced by both parties. She is a calm and compassionate practitioner who has applied the approaches she teaches in her own life, learning to quiet an inner critic and adopt healthier coping methods. Years of working with survivors have reinforced her belief that different methods suit different people, and she tailors care accordingly. She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and is based in the United Kingdom. If someone wishes to work with her, she welcomes contact to explore whether her approach is a good fit.
