Hi, I’m Cristina

I am a registered Counsellor, dedicated to support women to heal and flourish – one conversation at a time.

About Your Therapist

My Personal Story (a very short version) 

I am a trauma-informed, attachment theory focused person-centred counsellor. My qualifications include a Diploma and a Graduate Diploma of Counselling, and I am currently undertaking a Master of Psychotherapy and Counselling.

I started my career in the health industry as a Pharmacist, back in Brazil, but as a result of my immigration and own personal healing journey, I realised that working as a Pharmacist was no longer aligned with who I was becoming.

In needing to re-start my personal and professional life from zero as well as find my own answers, strengths, and soul stamina, I became increasingly interested in the many different dimensions of healing, and progressively disenchanted with compounding and dispensing medicines. 

Ultimately this interest led me to a total career change. I now work as a Therapeutic Counsellor, supporting women to restore power, wellbeing and purpose in their lives – one conversation at a time.
