Christine Hawkins

I’m Christine. I’m the Head of Therapy Services.

I am delighted to see how the therapy side of Platfform Wellbeing has grown from a small, talking therapy service (known as Breathe: ) to a large team of over 85 counsellors providing counselling and workplace wellbeing services.

I always strive to provide a supportive environment where we can meet our clients’ needs, overseeing our qualified counsellors and nurturing our budding trainee counsellors – I really enjoy watching them develop and grow in their roles.

Customer service is super important, and I ensure our counsellors always deliver incredible service. I manage contracts with our external partners; grants from organisations such as the Welsh Government; and liaise with our organisational clients to form strong, transparent partnerships and share opportunities for collaborative working. Platfform Wellbeing is more than a counselling provider and as with everything, communication is critical.

I have a Masters in Counselling (Cognitive Behavioural) and a Post Graduate Diploma in Consultative Supervision. I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and a member of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP).

In my spare time, I like to go for walks and camping with my husband and our dog, spend time with my large family and crochet gifts for people (whether they want them or not!).
