Christine Inceer, Counsellor & Psychotherapist, Registered Mbacp Accred.

Counselling and Psychotherapy for Hull and East Yorkshire.

Hello - and a warm welcome to my facebook profile.
Looking for a counsellor? I imagine it's a bit daunting trying to choose the right person to help, so let me tell you a bit about who I am, how I work and what I can offer.

All of us encounter difficulties in our lives at some time or other. Often we struggle through things on our own or with the support of friends and family. But occasionally we need the help of a professional who is trained to really listen, who can understand your problems from your point of view and who accepts you as you are rather than judges or criticises you.

How do I work?

I have a warm, open and accepting approach and offer a safe, confidential space that enables you to talk freely about the things that really concern you. You may be dissatisfied with life, in distress, in difficulty or in despair and, to begin with, you may find it hard to talk openly. But feeling fully heard, understood and not judged can help you to express and explore your thoughts and feelings in gradually more depth. Doing so will give you the opportunity to look at areas of your life, your relationships and yourself that you may not have been able to consider or face before.

My role is to support, encourage and gently challenge you in this process, by working with you at your pace and at a depth that you feel comfortable with. As a result you may be able to see things from a new perspective and discover solutions and answers or make choices and changes that enable you to cope better, give some direction and control of your life or a greater sense of contentment.

What experience do I have?

As well as working in private practice I am also a counsellor for an NHS Qualified Provider in Hull. Previously, I volunteered for a counselling agency in York and was a Listener for Samaritans. I have worked with many issues including anxiety, anger, bereavement, childhood abuse /trauma, depression, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, domestic abuse, redundancy, relationship issues, self-esteem /self-confidence, serious illness and work-related stress.
I work short, medium or long term with individual adults and couples.

What do my clients say?

"This was really useful, exactly what I needed. Chris made me feel comfortable and at ease when I'm not used to sharing /talking about my feelings. "
“Chris understood my concerns and how I felt. She helped me to consider strategies for coping…”
“Pouring my feelings out to someone other than my family and friends really helped me. ”
“Chris helped me to gain a better understanding of myself, to offload all my worries and look at them from a different perspective. ”
"The sessions helped me immensely to not only see ‘the light at the end of the tunnel' but also to appreciate myself more than I did previously. . . . ”
"Thank you for helping me find calmness, figure myself out and learn to look at my situation differently…"

About me

Having spent 20 + years in engineering, marketing and management and having had a number of difficult times myself, I realised that I was becoming more and more fascinated by people. So, eventually, I opted for voluntary redundancy and completely changed career. As with many 'converts', I am very passionate about my profession and am totally committed to supporting, inspiring and empowering others so they can live life more fully and better cope with life's inevitable ups and downs.
