Christine O'Leary

Hello, I’m Christine, an experienced facilitator and personal development coach

Personal Development Coaching

My work is informed by Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Parts Work, Systemic Family Constellations, Relationship Therapy and Non-Violent Communication (NVC).

My experience includes helping people with significant life changes, relationships, body dissatisfaction, weight loss, chronic indecision, menopause difficulties, creating new habits and increasing confidence. 

I don’t specialise in any one issue; I specialise in helping you to unpack and understand how your issue manifests. Whether the issue is anxiety, self-sabotage, or lack of confidence, everyone experiences such issues in in their own individual way. I specialise in helping you to understand and make changes to the unconscious beliefs and behaviours which are holding you back from loving the life you live.

Working with me can help you to loosen up those areas where you feel stuck, and it can bring unhelpful beliefs and assumptions into your conscious awareness.  When these shifts happen, new possibilities open up and you will be supported to make positive changes.  My coaching is aimed at helping you experience yourself and your world in more helpful ways. 

Relationship Therapy

Relationships are one of if not the most important parts of our life.  We build our lives around them. We long to be in relationship, we want our relationships to work, and yet, so often things go wrong.

If you want to dive in deep to what is holding you back from finding a love partner or keeping your relationship healthy and nourishing, get in touch.  It might be one of the most important self-care steps you can take.

I offer Relationship Therapy, working with couples and individuals. 

I am an experienced facilitator and personal development coach, and my Relationship Therapy draws upon a number of modalities.  At the core of this work is the understanding that any intimate relationship with another arises from our first intimacy, which is  our connection with ourselves.  We can only love, understand, empathise and be present with another in so far as we can be present with, have compassion for, and understand ourselves.

Relationship Therapy with individuals can include exploring what may be holding you back from developing a love relationship; what you hope for in a relationship; and any anxieties or fears you may feel about dating or being in a relationship. We can also explore problems that arose in past relationships, and how you might want to do things differently.

Relationship Therapy with couples can also include exploring one another’s attachment styles, love languages, communication, hearing one another’s needs, exploring polarities, and libido.

I work with heterosexual and lesbian couples
