Your Journey,
One Heart At A Time
Dedicated 50-minute sessions built entirely around you. A quiet, confidential space to unpack your thoughts, untangle emotions, and rewrite the patterns that no longer serve you — at a pace that feels kind and unrushed.
A Gentle, Structured
Space To Come Home To Yourself
Individual therapy at Christie Heart is a collaborative relationship between you and Nigel — trained to listen without judgment, reflect without agenda, and walk with you through whatever you carry. Every session is guided by your goals, your values, and your readiness to change.
Whether you're navigating a specific life transition, processing a painful memory, or simply feeling stuck in cycles you can't quite name, individual therapy offers the structure, perspective, and tools to move forward with intention.
Healing isn't about becoming someone new. It's about returning to the version of yourself that was always there — underneath the layers of what happened to you.
— Nigel Edokpolo, FounderYou Don't Have To Be In Crisis To Deserve Support

4 Ways Individual Therapy Transforms How You Live
Self-Awareness
Understand the why behind your thoughts, reactions, and patterns with kind, honest clarity.
Emotional Resilience
Build a toolkit of real, actionable skills that help you face hard days without breaking.
Better Relationships
When you know yourself, you show up differently — honestly, calmly, and with clear boundaries.
Lasting Relief
Not just coping — real healing at the root, so the change stays with you long after sessions end.
A Session Structure That Meets You Every Time
Every session is different — because every week, you're different. But this gentle rhythm gives shape to the work.
Check-In & Grounding
We start with where you are today. A quick breath, a heartbeat check, a soft landing.
Deep Exploration
You lead the conversation. We listen, reflect, and gently unfold what matters most.
Insight & Skill
Connect the dots, name the pattern, and leave with 1-2 small, doable practices.
Warm Close
We end with grounding, a clear next step, and a moment of self-compassion.
Everything You Need To Know Before We Begin
How long does individual therapy take to see results?
+Every journey is personal — but most clients report a noticeable shift within 4-6 sessions. Short-term focused work is 8-12 weeks, while deeper healing journeys run 6-12 months or longer, completely at your discretion.
What if I don't know what to talk about?
+That's completely normal — and actually where some of the best work begins. Nigel will meet you in that silence with gentle prompts. You never have to show up prepared; you just have to show up.
Is everything I share truly confidential?
+Yes — 100%. All sessions are bound by professional confidentiality, with the only legal exceptions being imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, or suspected child/elder abuse. We review this in detail during your first session.
How often do we meet?
+Most clients start weekly for momentum, then transition to bi-weekly as progress deepens. We'll collaboratively decide the rhythm that works best for your goals, season of life, and budget.
Can I switch to another modality later if needed?
+Absolutely. Individual therapy here integrates CBT, DBT, EFT, Narrative, and SFBT techniques as needed — or we can pivot to a dedicated modality package at any point if that feels like the better fit.
