Dynamic and Effective Therapy That Works

Counselling in Leytonstone E11 and Online

Welcome to Counselling for Change.

Life can feel like an uphill battle—whether it’s anxiety that won’t ease, past traumas that keep resurfacing, or a relationship that feels stuck. If you’re ready to confront your own challenges head-on, I’m here to help. My name is Christine Szpytma, and I’m a qualified, BACP-registered counsellor offering therapy that’s warm, effective, and to the point. Together, we’ll focus on what’s holding you back, so you can take control of your life and start moving forward.

I work with individuals and couples, navigating everything from burnout to intimacy issues. My approach is clear and direct—I won’t shy away from asking the tough questions—but it’s always rooted in sensitivity, compassion and respect. My clients often tell me they feel supported, heard, and challenged, in equal measure.

As an integrative counsellor, I use approaches like CBT, psychodynamic, and psychosexual counselling, to tailor our sessions to your needs. Whether you’re looking for short-term strategies or deeper, long-term change, I’ll work with you to make progress that lasts.

I work with adults and couples, providing both short-term and long-term therapy to help with a wide range of challenges. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, or other problems, I offer a safe and professional space where we can work together to create meaningful change. My focus is always on helping you gain clarity, and building your resilience and confidence, so that you can move forward in your life.

Individual Counselling

When life feels overwhelming or unsatisfactory, individual counselling can help you find clarity and balance. We’ll explore the challenges you’re facing, uncover their roots, and work together to create meaningful change.

Couples Counselling

Relationships can be hard work, but they don’t have to stay stuck. I’ll help you and your partner improve communication, resolve conflicts, and rediscover connection and intimacy.

How Counselling Can Help You

Counselling is about more than just talking—it’s about gaining clarity, building resilience, increased contentment, and creating lasting change. It offers a safe, confidential space to explore your challenges, understand what’s holding you back, and help you to develop the tools to move forward.

Together, we’ll uncover patterns and behaviours that may no longer serve you, address the roots of your struggles, and create practical strategies for change. Whether you’re managing anxiety, rebuilding a relationship, or working through past traumas, therapy helps you regain control and feel more confident in your life.

It’s not always easy, but in moments of honest reflection, real progress happens. Our sessions together, will empower you to face challenges with strength, and to create the life and relationships you truly want.

What my clients say...

“The progress I have made with Christine's support has been phenomenal……I wouldn't be the person I am today (confident, calm, happy and optimistic) without her patient and attentive support. She is simply brilliant and inspiring."

J

"My partner and I got a lot out of working with Christine, during a very difficult time. She was compassionate but challenging when she needed to be, and made us look more closely at ourselves and our relationship. I would recommend her services."

G

"I can't explain how much Christine has helped me work through historical things, current issues and just genuinely understanding myself………I feel like a different person and in a stronger place to face whatever is in my future. I can't recommend enough!"

L

"Christine took our situation seriously and with the right combination of compassion and distance. I was always grateful for her clear and sharp observations. I would recommend her unreservedly to any couple needing someone fair, caring, and plain-speaking to help them navigate their relationship."

C

"I found Christine when I was suffering with severe anxiety and panic attacks. She helped me work through past traumas with a caring, empathetic approach while challenging me to be self-aware and confront aspects of my past which I’d repressed for many years. Over time I learnt how to manage my anxiety, understand myself better and grow in confidence. This led to me making life changes that I would have never thought I was capable of doing before I met her. Working with Christine this past year has really changed my life. I would highly recommend working with her!"

H

"Christine was recommended to me, I worked with her for 2 years. She is understanding, kind and incredibly easy to talk to. Christine is a clear communicator and I valued our discussions in each session. Her support, especially during particularly difficult periods at work, was exceptional. I would recommend Christine to anyone, I am extremely grateful for her guidance which has left a lasting positive impact on me."
