Christel Mitchell, M.C., R.C.C.

At the heart of my practice is the belief that strong, supportive relationships are essential for healing. I prioritise creating an environment where trust, empathy, and unconditional positive regard thrive—these are vital elements in building a meaningful therapeutic relationship. My aim is to provide a safe and nurturing space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.

I strive to empower you to recognise and discover your personal strengths and capabilities. Throughout our time together, I will support you in enhancing your overall well-being, building resilience, and developing effective problem-solving skills. By fostering self-awareness and insight, we will collaborate to navigate your unique challenges.

To ensure you receive the best support possible, I draw from a variety of proven therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioural therapy, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. My approach is strength-based and trauma-informed, integrating positive psychology and mindfulness strategies into our sessions. Additionally, I utilise Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) techniques. I am also eager to further expand my practice by learning about and implementing somatic therapy techniques that focus on the connection between the body and mind.

Recognising that every client is unique, I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs as we work toward meaningful change. I am deeply committed to promoting mental health awareness and advocating for your needs throughout our journey together. Lifelong learning is important to me; I continuously strive to stay updated on the latest psychological theories and practices to provide you with the highest quality of care.

My passion for helping others is the driving force behind my work, and I am honoured to accompany you on your path to wellness. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together!

Allow me the opportunity to support you in navigating your wild mountain of challenges and make the journey to the top where rewards are waiting for you.

With each client I strive to create a person-centered approach, grounded in trust, paralleled with congruency, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. I provide a safe and therapeutic environment for the exploration of thoughts, emotions, and behaviours which encourages clients to build self-awareness and gain insight into personal struggle. Empowering clients to manage their own lives as they discover personal strengths and capabilities, enhances well-being, builds resiliency, and embraces problem solving skills.

I utilize a combination of treatment modalities, including but not limited to cognitive behavioural therapy, solution focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. Additionally, I take a strength-based and trauma-informed approach to therapy, while incorporating positive psychology and mindfulness strategies and techniques into my practice. Furthermore, I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Mindful Eating, and currently working towards completing ATMA’s Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy introduction and advanced training courses to hopefully in the future offer this ground-breaking treatment to adult clients experiencing mental health challenges.

Each client receives a tailored approach to best meet their needs and support their movement towards change.
