Chrissy Peel (Chrisalis Counselling)

I am a fully qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor, offering counselling and psychotherapy. I work using an integrative approach which means I use and blend various modalities and theories to suit the individual client, including Person Centred Approach (PCA), CBT, REBT and TA (Transactional Analysis), psychodynamic, attachment theory, as well as Flash Technique.

As a veteran who has served almost a decade in the military and also decades in the corporate world, I really understand how life events, both personal and professional, can cause stress, anxiety, depression, feeling sad, panic attacks and trauma responses. I feel passionate about helping people work through trauma and PTSD whether it’s recent events or a long time ago, supporting them to move forward to live a happier and more fulfilling life.

“Trauma is not what happens to you, it’s what happens inside you as a result of what happened to you. Trauma is that scarring that makes you less flexible, more rigid, less feeling and more defended.” (Dr Gabor Mate)

Using an integrative counselling approach means I can offer various theoretical approaches tailored to suit your needs, but you and what you need are at the centre of the therapy.

Client issues I have worked with include: anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, flashbacks, night-terrors, panic attacks, sleeping issues, bipolar/EUPD, anger issues, self-harm, alcohol / drug abuse, eating disorders, OCD, low self-esteem/confidence issues, shame, loneliness / isolation, sexual issues, relationship/communication issues, disconnection, body image issues, loss and grief.

I have experience of working with serving military, military veterans and also those serving in the emergency services.

I offer a 30 mins consultation free of charge, either f:f or via zoom, which offers you the chance to experience the environment we would be working in. It is also an opportunity for you to tell me a little more about what is bringing you to therapy and where I can explain a little more about how I work.

I am currently offering face to face and online sessions which last 50 mins and my fee is £60 per session.

If you would like to book an initial consultation session with me to see how we might be able to work together, then please do email, phone me or contact me via my website, and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
