My Counselling Focus
I’m Christine, a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, who can offer individuals an experienced and practical perspective on a range of narcissistic relationships and antagonistic personality styles that you are navigating in your life right now.
Your challenging relationship can be with a spouse, family member, or adult child where their influence over you, your time and resources is really beginning to feel all-consuming for you.
My approach is different than other Narcissistic Abuse Counsellors. I recognize narcissism is not the only type of antagonistic personality style and yet the ongoing exposure to volatile and unpredictable behaviour from others can have similar negative effects on us.
Antagonistic personality styles in adults can also include substance use disorder, behavioural addictions, mental health challenges, ADHD, autism and this list could literally go on.
My focus begins with the effects of the narcissistic abuse and antagonistic relational stress you are currently experiencing with the understanding close relationships are not expendable when you are invested.
Before there is any consideration of ending any relationship, if that is even possible, there is my Inner Strength Boundary System: A²LDS - link to blog here.
This process supports you to begin the inner work of reclaiming the parts of you that have been lost with no agenda to leave or cut-off your relationship, unless you determine otherwise as there is an aspect of your safety at risk.
Or perhaps you are seeking to look at your own relationship patterns that are harming your healthy relationships and would like to explore how to respond better – link to blog here.
Working with me, you will learn how my Inner Strength Boundary System: A²LDS can provide you the framework to develop an internal sense of safety to feel more confident and secure in relationship with yourself and others.
Why Blue Onion?
The blue part is simple – it’s my favourite colour! Blue represents trust and serenity which are included in the top 5 values that I live by everyday.
The onion represents you, my client – someone who has created tight layers of protection around yourself caused by relational trauma due to a challenging relationship with someone who exhibits narcissistic traits or an antagonistic personality style.
If you are seeking a safe and effective therapeutic process to reveal your inner strength to break free from the toxic patterns and stress you’re experiencing with a spouse, family member, or adult child, you are in the right place.
You value the ability to make your own choices about your level of engagement in your challenging relationship, all within a compassionate, judgment-free counselling space. You may also be looking for a confidential solutions-based space to holistically safety-plan and protect yourself from being pulled back into unhealthy dynamics.
