Welcome to Cognitive Clarity!
Hi I'm Christina and I am an integrative psychotherapist and I specialise in anxiety and trauma. I'm a qualified and accredited CBT therapist and alongside this work with a variety of techniques, such as hypnotherapy, breath work and mindfulness. I work from my therapy room in Tenterden, Kent and also work remotely.
CBT is an evidence-based therapy and numerous randomised controlled trials tell us that it is one of the most effective psychological therapies for anxiety and depression. It is recommended by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) as a first choice for a wide range of mental health issues.
CBT and hypnotherapy allows you to begin to rewire your brain, the scientific word for this is neuroplasticity, so you can begin to function in a way that is more aligned with how you want to live and how you want to be.
I start therapy from the premise that I'm simply a human talking to you, another human and that I am fortunate enough to have information and techniques that can help you manage the issues you are coming into therapy to address. Ultimately, supporting you to make changes that allow you to live a life that is more balanced and fulfilling.

Small Steps & Hope
Often it's not possible to name exactly what it is that you are feeling, and you may only recognise that something does not feel right and life feels like a struggle.
Together we can explore what the issues are and work out what is keeping the problem going. Starting with small steps is generally the best way when making changes. Changes can feel uncomfortable at first, but we know that the best results tend to come when we face our fears and try something different.
I understand that everyone and their experiences are unique and that there are many components that make us who we are, and for that reason I use a holistic approach in my practice, personalising each session to meet the unique needs of each individual.
I believe that having hope is a very powerful tool and often we can feel we have lost all hope, which leaves us feeling defeated.... and hopeless! I can help you rediscover your hope for a better future and make changes to work towards the life you want.

Testimonials
I would highly recommend Christina. She was so kind and empathetic at a time that I really needed it. I had lost a very close loved one in difficult circumstances and thought that I would never be able to think of them again without remembering the terrible first scenes. She was very patient and just talking through what I had experienced helped a lot. I am very grateful that I feel so much better.
Sarah
Christina was amazing helping with my anxiety, which had haunted me for a number of years. The anxiety started due to an unfortunate incident when I was younger and never really left me. After the treatment I could remember the incident without all the awful feelings that had previously come with it. It now feels like a new lease of life.
Jackie
I had had several previous therapeutic interventions but nothing really seemed to shift the anxious feelings. Therapy with Christina has really helped lessen my anxious thoughts and the physical symptoms that comes with them. I’m still a work in progress, but now I have techniques I can work with that I know make a real difference.
Mike
I was dealing with PTSD due to witnessing the death of a close relative and felt extremely low and anxious. I felt stuck. It did not take many therapy appointments before I started to notice a difference and that I was beginning to view the event from a different perspective. I am able to move on with my life now and remember my loved one without feeling anxious.
Susie
Working with Christina has been life changing. I never thought for one moment that I would change how I felt about my situation, but not only do I feel better and able to live life again, but I have also embarked on a course. For the first time in a long while I feel that I have some direction again.
