About Me

Born on the coast of Holland, I enjoyed from an early age the feeling of sand between my toes and the fresh sea air in my lungs.  Drawn away, aged twenty, from the Dutch seaboard to the rivers and lakes of Switzerland and again years later to the warmer shores of Perth WA, water has remained a constant and powerful influence in my life.  I live with my darling husband of 29 years Andreas, and together we have been blessed with two wonderful children and a much loved grandson. We also share our lives and home with a Labrador, a Golden Retriever and 2 cats.
"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….(54 yr old female)“

For me, water is the symbol of life.  It is the primordial source, life’s origin and its flow mirrors our own lives – sometimes tumultuous, sometimes calm.  When life is in flux, energies flow freely and spontaneously.  If life becomes blocked, say as if a dam had been built in its path, the force of the flow is inhibited: the river subsides, the river bed dries out.
Water however has the power to heal, to reinvent itself, forging new paths and navigating old ones and these are the benefits I try to pass on to my clients using various Gestalt Therapy techniques enabling them to address past issues and once again become reacquainted with their “inner self” or “core self” (see the Techniques page or the Gestalt Therapy page for a full explanation)
“The force of the sea is powerful and resonant, and calls on us simply to be.”
