Heidi Christie

Heidi Christie offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. She welcomes adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or facing major life changes. Her approach aims to help people feel heard and regain a sense of direction.

Heidi has 13 years of clinical experience and practices in Australia. She holds the ACA credential and has a Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her background includes work with people affected by childhood trauma, sexual assault, addiction, crisis situations, and chronic health challenges.

Her style is warm and trauma-informed. Sessions combine talk-based conversation with body-focused practices and nervous system support. She also uses attachment-focused work, parts work, and expressive techniques to help people notice how past events shape present feelings and behaviour.

Heidi pays attention to practical skills as well as deeper healing. In sessions she helps people build tools for managing anxiety, cope with grief, and improve communication in relationships. She works at a steady pace and aims for changes that fit daily life.

People can expect curiosity, respect, and clear collaboration. Heidi draws on the person’s strengths while exploring the issues that brought them to therapy. She describes therapy as both a place for navigating hardship and for rebuilding resilience and connection.

Evidence-based approaches and remote care

Heidi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine talking therapies with body-focused work. She integrates attachment-focused approaches to examine how early relationships affect current patterns in relationships and self-worth, which can help with relationship strain and low self-esteem.

She also draws on nervous system support and somatic methods to help people manage anxiety, trauma responses, and the physical symptoms of stress. These techniques teach practical ways to notice bodily signals and reduce overwhelm during upsetting moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heidi collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences. Together they review what is helping and adapt the plan as therapy progresses.
