About me

Hi, I'm Jenny Christie

I am fascinated by people's behaviours, perspectives and approaches to life, and by the way they respond to situations in which they find themselves. Much of what we experience is due to the way events or circumstances are filtered or interpreted by our unconscious mind through patterns largely developed in childhood. This process occurs outside our conscious awareness. Some hidden thought patterns are unhelpful and can trap us in ways of being or behaving that prevent us leading a full and rewarding life.

I love being able to support people to take more control over their lives by identifying and changing unwanted automatic patterns.

I trained as a clinical hypnotherapist with the New Zealand School of Professional Hypnotherapy in 2015. I have a Diploma in Clinical and Advanced Hypnosis and am a Certified Anxiety Specialist and Certified Practitioner of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP).

My philosophy: my approach to therapy

• The universality of being human - we are all interconnected to each other and to the wider world, and supporting each other's well-being helps us all.
• There is something valuable and precious inside everyone.
• People are nearly always trying to do the best they can in the circumstances.
• Even bad habits have some good in them.
• If a person seeks help, they know what the problem is, even if they don't know how to change it.
• Every challenge provides an opportunity for growth or deeper understanding.
• Everyone has their own personal journey through life, their own challenges, their own inner resources, and their own choices to make. It is the journey that matters, and as the psychologist Carl Rogers said of life, "it is always a process of becoming".

I'm passionate about helping people find their way through their difficulties so they can thrive.
