Counselling with Kristin Crenshaw Harding (MBACP)
I’m originally from North Carolina, USA and have been living in London since 2016. From a young child, I have always been an empathetic and caring person, sensitive to other’s needs. A career that enabled me to help others was an obvious and natural path. I’ve always had a large interest in psychology, mental health, and overall wellness, which has led me to counselling.
As a mental health professional, I work collectively with my client to help navigate the highs and lows of life and what it means to be human. A therapeutic relationship can offer a professional and confidential space to take a break from the hustle and bustle of life and look introspectively at ourselves and our surroundings. Counselling is a safe space, an alliance, a place to explore, a place to grow, a place to heal; It’s not a quick fix, but a foot forward in a journey to your best self.
I also teach Yoga and have interests in all that yoga encompasses, a holistic mind-body connection, nature, & community. I am a volunteer school ambassador for NSPCC Childline.
Areas I work with:
I am an Integrative counsellor with a largely Humanistic base. I work with an “unconditional positive regard” for my clients. I support and encourage my clients to explore their past, current, and future to facilitate a greater understanding of themselves. A deeper examination into our lives and who we are can lead to a greater self-awareness and allow us to then focus on areas we’d like to improve.
I believe that lasting change most often develops outside the sessions, putting words or thoughts from sessions into action. Therefore, I may use Cognitive Behavioural techniques, such as keeping logs of thoughts or worries, or Solution-Focused techniques that work on empowering & discovering strengths and current resources that can be used in daily life. I tailor these theories or techniques to suit each individual and keep on ongoing open discussion about what is working or not working for the client.
Above all, I believe the counselling relationship to be more important than any counselling theory, therefore I always put the person first. Empathizing, listening, supporting, being with, and holding space for a client to explore in a confidential and professional environment is always my number one goal.
I currently meet with private adult and adolescent clients on a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to:
- Abuse
- Anxiety & Panic Attacks
- Asperger’s and Autism
- Depression
- Dissatisfaction & Unfulfillment
- Family matters or conflict
- Grief & Loss
- Mood disorders
- Life transitions
- Relationship Issues
- Self-Esteem & Confidence
- Stress
- Women’s issues
- Work related issues
Counselling Qualifications and Training:
During and after finishing my Master’s course, I worked therapeutically in a school designated for children with developmental differences, including the Autism Spectrum, ADHD, & Pervasive Developmental Disorder. After relocating to London, I began to counsel adults on a “Patient and Family” team at St. Joseph’s Hospice, supporting family members or caretakers of terminally ill Hospice patients. I now see private clients in London. I abide by the BACP code of ethics and good practice guidelines and am in regular monthly supervision. I am a life-long student and keep up to date with Continuing Education and current psychological research.
