Cristina Durigon
Integrative psychotherapistAbout Me
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.
