About Christina
Hi, I’m Christina.
I’m Christina McCarthy, a Counselling Therapist with a Master of Counselling degree (MC) and a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) designation through the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). I am also an experienced yoga teacher with training in trauma-informed yoga. My work is deeply shaped by embodied practices, mindfulness, nervous system care, and a belief in whole-person healing.
My path to this work has been influenced by my own deep respect for the body’s wisdom and the ways practices like yoga, mindfulness, nervous system care, and holistic healing can support us in coming home to ourselves. At the heart of my approach is the belief that healing is not just about understanding your story — it is about gently reconnecting with your body, emotions, relationships, inner resilience, and whole self.
I work with adults, teens, and couples who are curious about an integrative, evidence-informed, and embodied approach to counselling. In our work together, I offer a warm, attuned space where we can gently explore your thoughts, emotions, body sensations, relationships, and patterns with curiosity and compassion. Whatever brings you here, you do not have to navigate it alone; together, we can create the conditions for growth, healing, and lasting change.
