About Me
My name is Christine Wood and I am a counsellor working from consulting rooms in the North Tyneside and Newcastle upon Tyne region.
One clinic is in Newcastle/Gateshead just off the Tyne Bridge, and one clinic is in North Tyneside at Wallsend.
I am an experienced Person Centred Counsellor working within the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice.
I graduated from Sunderland University with a Foundation Degree in Counselling with Commendation.
During my training I worked within St Clares Hospice, CRUSE Bereavement Care and in a busy city centre GP practice where I gained experience in working with a diverse patient list covering a wide range of issues.
In addition to private practice I recently supported a waiting list intiative within the NHS managed by Gedanken.
I work as a volunteer for charitable organisations including CRUSE Bereavement Care and Coping with Cancer.
I hold a Level 5 Certificate in Counselling Supervision.
I also hold a NCFE Certificate in Bereavement Awareness and Counselling Skills.
I am a CRUSE Accredited Bereavement Counsellor, counselling and supervising on a voluntary basis.
I am currently studying for my Dip in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which will enhance my practice.
I am working towards completing my practical hours with RELATE to attain my qualification in couple counselling.
