About MeHello, I'm Christina Burki, your dedicated Gestalt Psychotherapist, committed to guiding you on a transformative journey of self-discovery and healing.
Born along the enchanting coast of Holland, the essence of sandy shores and the invigorating sea breeze have been a part of me since my earliest days. My life's journey has taken me from the Dutch coastline to the tranquil rivers and lakes of Switzerland, and later to the sun-kissed shores of Perth, Australia. Throughout my life, water has been a constant companion, deeply influencing my path. "When I met Christina in 2009 I felt immediately that she was the right person to talk to. I was absolutely ready to do some work and it took only several hours for me to feel much better. She is very professional and most importantly, a very insightful therapist. I loved every hour with her…." |
For the past 45 years, my life has been shared with my beloved husband, Andreas. Together, we've been graced with two wonderful children and cherished grandsons. Our home was once further enlivened by our black Labrador Joya, golden retriever Buddy, and two feline friends, Tiger and Soraya, who have since crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Their playful spirits continue to dwell in our hearts, forever a part of our story.
To me, water represents the essence of life – a primal element reflecting the ups and downs of our existence. It teaches us that in times of turmoil, we can experience a surge of energy, while periods of tranquillity offer introspection. Life, like a river, may face obstacles, but water's remarkable ability to heal, transform, and forge new paths is a philosophy I embody in my Gestalt Therapy practice.
“The force of the sea is powerful and resonant, and calls on us simply to be.”
Gestalt Therapy is an art form for me, helping individuals confront past issues and rediscover their "inner self" or "core self". It's about navigating through the old and embracing new beginnings, mirroring water's capacity to heal and reinvent.
