I am a person-centred therapist, author and the founder of Counselling with Chrissie, which I established in 2018. As someone with cerebral palsy, I have overcome disability discrimination at college, in the workplace and during my therapy training placement. My experiences have shaped my passion for helping others recognise their worth, overcome challenges and make positive changes in their lives.

I am the author of two books. My latest book, Self Love Because You Matter, shares simple yet powerful techniques to help people manage overthinking, feel less stuck, find a healthier life balance and stop putting everyone else first. My first book, A Look Inside the Therapy Room, shares my journey to becoming a person-centred therapist, challenges common myths about therapy and offers insight into the therapeutic process through experiences and outcomes from my previous clients.

I have also created the Because You Matter 30-Day Challenge, designed to encourage people to make time for themselves, prioritise their wellbeing and take small, meaningful steps towards self-care. The challenge is available to follow on YouTube and Instagram, offering daily encouragement and support alongside the challenge booklet and cards. My aim is to remind people that looking after themselves matters just as much as looking after others.

Through my counselling work, books, wellbeing resources and speaking, my aim is to empower people to understand themselves better, build self-worth and make positive changes in their lives.
