My name is Cristina Durigon and I am an Integrative Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor working online.  I work full time as a psychotherapist and I see clients online through Zoom platform. I worked in the NHS as a psychotherapist for almost a decade in primary and secondary care units. I have experience working with a number of clients who suffered a wide range of problems with different levels of complexity. I am an Integrative Psychotherapist. This means that I have combined a number of theories to my style to better suit my client's needs. My main approaches include the Humanistic therapies Gestalt and Person Centre as well as Relational Psychoanalysis. I consider the whole person - mind, body, feeling and thinking processes and I work towards integration and balance of these elements.If you decide to work with me, my aim will be to provide you with a safe, supportive and confidential space where you will be able to express your concerns and explore your difficulties. My approach is embodied and relational. I will be interested in hearing about your current problems as they happen in your life right now and I will be paying attention to the emotions, thinking processes as well as the embodied expression of your experience as they arise in the clinical room.​I may use creative arts, imagery work, body work or gestalt experimentation as a way to support growth and self-expression but I will also invite you to explore your past experiences as a way to help you to re-think your current issues. We will actively discuss the relationship between client and therapist as this too, may inform your situation. I believe that the capacity to experience deep feelings, awareness and responsibility are key elements to therapeutic change.I will offer you an opportunity to consider, together, potential changes that may bring relief for your distress. I will be alongside you, in a journey, helping you to have a deeper understanding and acceptance of yourself.My background is in architecture/interior design and I have worked in this field for many years. Apart from English, I also provide sessions in Portuguese. For more information please access my website on: www.cristinadurigon.com
