Christine Egan
I am a person centred counsellor, I offer private counselling sessions in Leeds and surrounding areas. My experience in providing counselling for a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, bullying, childhood issues, bereavement and relationship difficulties allows me to work with adults, both male and female, as well as couples.
Prior to counselling I was cardiac nurse and later a health visitor for children under the age of five. I also hosted a death and dying bereavement cafe at the Drighlington Health Hub prior to Covid, I plan to continue hosting this service when we able to once again gather together indoors within a group setting.
Person centred counselling provides the right conditions for you to be able to talk about your situation and to be listened to in a caring and non-judgemental way. I will not give advice nor tell you what to do but I will help you to look at how you can solve your problems in a way that works for you, as an individual.
