Welcome to Springs Training

Hi, I’m Christine: STTM Therapist and Trainer
Hi, I’m Christine: STTM Therapist and Trainer
Therapeutic Counselling: Transactional Analysis [MBACP]
Are you wondering why you keep repeating the
same unhelpful patterns? Do you feel like
something needs to change but you don’t know
what?
Maybe you know what needs to change
but you don’t know how to do it… or why you just
can’t.
In our sessions you will have the
opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings
in a safe space and to navigate the barriers to
that change.
Based in the South Manchester/Stockport area I
have a special interest in stress and anxiety
related to the workplace and relationships.
Initially, I am available for 50 minute online
sessions with the flexibility to move to in-person sessions if required/as requested.
Mental Health First Aid
Understanding mental health and destigmatising mental ill health is the first step to creating an inclusive and mutually supportive environment – at home, at work and in the community.
I deliver Mental Health First Aid England courses that give you the opportunity to increase your confidence in opening a dialogue about mental health and in supporting those around you that may be experiencing mental ill health.
Having MH First Aiders in the workplace can help to provide the conditions for individuals to engage more fully with their working lives or studies.
Mental Health First Aid [Adult]:
2 day course for those working with adults as clients or colleagues.
Mental Health First Aid [Youth]:
2 day course for those working with young people 8-18yrs.
Mental Health Awareness [Youth]:

Awareness & Inclusion
An introduction to the world of neurodiversity, the myths, the little-known truths and the small changes in workplaces that can benefit everyone.
Awareness course:
A 1hr stand-alone course or a precursor to the Champions course.
Champions course (4hrs)
These courses could be run together over a day
Focused Training & Consultancy
I am happy to discuss focused training on specific topics which could include strategies and techniques based in
Transactional Analysis.
Originally training as a nurse and midwife I changed direction and spent almost 30 years working as a teacher and manager, mainly in sixth forms and secondary school outreach programmes.
My degree in Comparative Religion was slotted in between the two career paths and stemmed from a desire to understand others and their needs.
I came to the field of mental health following my own challenges as a working, older, single parent but also witnessing the challenges experienced by young people and colleagues within the education setting.
As a trainer I have delivered courses in schools and colleges at all levels and to mixed groups from a variety of backgrounds such as charities, construction, retail and hospitality. As a counsellor, I have experience working with the LGBT community and bereavement services.
On a more personal level, I love small local theatre and gigs, comedy nights including improv, travel [most recently to Central Asia] and crafting workshops, where I still haven’t found my ‘gift’.
