About me

As a Licensed Psychologist and a Psychotherapeutic Life Coach with a background in psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), I help my clients with issues around low self-esteem, self-doubt, fear, shame, procrastination, perfectionism, life purpose and trauma, so that they can lead a more meaningful, mindful, and fulfilling life.

Working online, I approach life coaching from a mindfulness-based, psychoanalytic, cognitive behavioural, neuroscience, and trauma-informed perspective, combining psychotherapy, psychology, spirituality and life coaching.

My purpose is to support you in discovering and fully understanding your inner self, which will assist in your emotional and mental healing. This will enable you to lead a more meaningful, mindful, and fulfilling life.

I offer a free 25 minute discovery call which you can book easily here.

How can we work together? 

I have an integrated approach, which means I personalise my method to your specific needs. This entails a variety of applied neuropsychological and psychological methods, theories, and methodologies. My belief in the power of person-centred approaches stems from the fact that every individual has distinct needs that must be catered to.

I use techniques such as Mindfulness-based, Acceptance and Compassion-focused approaches, Inner child healing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic, Neuropsychology, Health Psychology, and Trauma Interventions to create greater awareness by re-evaluating and rebuilding various aspects of your life. 

With four years of experience inpsychological roles, 7 years of academic background and membership in the British Psychological Society, I possess extensive knowledge of theory and research. My speciality involves implementing reflective, ethical, evidence-based, and psychotherapeutic practices.

I recognise the profound connections between the mind, body, and soul. I believe that bringing more awareness and reconnecting to each part of ourselves promotes complete acceptance and integration of our painful experiences which leads to a purposeful and peaceful existence. When one aspect is healed, it can have a profound and beneficial impact on the overall system. It's worth noting that our physical body can retain knowledge and information that our mind may not consciously recognize and tapping into our intuition and inner guidance can offer immense potential for growth and healing.

I aim to guide you towards rediscovering your truest self by helping you reconnect with your authentic inner being. I help you to cope with and navigate anxiety, procrastination, low self-esteem, shame and any other worry you may be experiencing by providing practical evidence-based tools.

Together, we shall embark on a journey of self-exploration, delving deep into your innermost thoughts and emotions. I provide you with a safe and supportive space to express yourself freely as you navigate this transformative journey.

I am here to encourage and guide you to discover your innate capacity to heal, support you in becoming more present and aligned with yourself and assist you in gaining clarity from within. 

I specialise in intergenerational trauma, reparenting, mindfulness, inner child and teen healing, limiting beliefs, rewiring your subconscious mind, emotional regulation, isolation and so much more.

I am here to create a safe space and co-create a purposeful change.

If you are interested in virtual coaching sessions or have any questions, please feel free to contact me. You can call me on 07949 241237 or send me an email.

Testimonials:

"Personally with me, Chrysanna had the gift in her coaching sessions to really touch on something extremely important to me and help me turn it around. She exceeded my expectations in the sense that I didn't hope to get much for the sessions, but always ended up with a big breakthrough. She is calm and seeks to understand her client, which is a big help when you don't know where to begin your story. I'm very thankful for her time she willingly gave to me!"

I came to Chrysanna to build up my confidence regarding my career after a layoff. She patiently listened to my story and walked me through some intense moments. She utilized her psychology expertise and found the root cause of my issue in only one session. She even guided me to learn to support myself if similar situation happened again. I’m really grateful for Chrysanna. Thank you for picking me up at the lowest point of my life! 

- E.H.

Chrysanna has tools and exercises ready if you are the right fit for it. She also knows how to listen well and ask questions (they're so simple but it works so well) that make you think further and reflect. Her approach isn't about someone telling you what's wrong with you, it's about helping you figure out your problem on your own (with a guide) and what you feel about it in order to process it and move forward. I felt that way with my session with her."
