About Christinaseva
I have always been a seeker of truth, one of those children who wanted to understand why. It delights me that this passion for growth and learning stays with me to this day.
What really inspires me is the desire people are showing in these current times to come forward for support and the satisfaction they report from the positive changes in their lives.
My spiritual teacher, Mata Yogananda, always encouraged me to rely on myself, my inner wisdom, while knowing that we never have to be alone on our journey. It is a privilege to honor and respect that wisdom held within each of my clients, and to create the conditions for that empowerment and personal agency to thrive.
Ultimately, we don’t have to do what is so often now being call ‘the work’. When we see it as a gift ~ that we get to do the work ~ the path opens for us to embrace our best and authentic selves.

25 years Counselling & Mentoring
Intuitive Counselling
We all can have relationship challenges, frustration in our work, a disconnection from ourselves and life, mental blocks and restlessness, conditioning from our past, habits, anxiety, depression and fears. Intuitive Counselling helps us to our own realization that it is not what happens to us, but what we do with what happens that makes us the inner victor or otherwise.
It is rare these days to have a person’s undivided attention. With the calming presence of the Intuitive Counsellor, they are there for you with unconditional love and without judgement. Any guidance and support given will be at all times respectful of your personal agency.
Our minds can make or break us ~ this we well know. But people often lack the appropriate tools and support to tune into the inner higher intelligence that is waiting to be tapped into to make our lives easier and more fulfilling. Within your own being you hold all the wisdom and intuitive guidance to help you find your way forward into greater self-awareness, self-mastery, clarity and peace.
In addition to the deep insights gained through Intuitive Counselling, clients also receive breathing and other tools to keep you connected and to give you an anchor to this higher part of you any time you are in need.
In addition to one-to-one counselling, Christinaseva has over 15 years of experience in relationship counselling and counselling for children and teenagers.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.

Thinking Environment Coaching
Thinking Environment Coaching is founded on five decades of research and observation by Nancy Kline and her colleagues. This illustrious form of coaching is world-renowned for its transformational effect on people’s ability to produce their finest insight and thinking, leading to tangible results.
The Thinking Environment coach understands that the mind that holds the problem is the best mind to find its own solutions. This empowers the client, the ‘thinker’, and aids the development and honing of skills as an independent thinker over time, both within and outside a coaching session
What matters is not that something is said, but that it is the thinker that says it. A client is more likely to follow through on their liberating breakthroughs when they have done the thinking themselves.
During a thinking environment coaching session, questions will be asked to help you explore and clarify their thoughts, accessing creative and inspired ways forward. The coach may also ask questions to help you to identify limiting assumptions that are stopping you from making progress. This leads to breakthroughs in your thinking that have sometimes been stuck for years or even decades.
The quality of everything we do depends on the quality of the thinking we do first.
~ Nancy Kline
The quality of our thinking depends on the way we treat each other while we are thinking.
Breathing & Tools coaching since 2002
Breathwork & Relaxation Tools
Our breath and body holding patterns, mental stress, injury and emotional memory and modern postural habits can be so long held and deeply ingrained that we may not even be aware of them. That is until they show up as symptoms ~ pain, low energy, anxiety, tightness, restricted breathing, breath ‘hunger’ and many of the other indicators ~ they make us all too aware!
What is our body and our breathing trying to tell us?
Enhance your natural breathing patterns, relaxation and awareness while learning gentle, safe ways of breathing and tools for relaxating to calm and balance us. All the breathing methods and tools are scientific, kind and effective and can be practiced anytime you need throughout your day and night.
These one-to-one appointments help you to gain greater inner awareness of your own patterns while developing a personalised set of tools and skills to pave the path to a freer expression of your body and your breath. Appointments are uniquely tailored and will focus more on breathing or more on relaxation and mindfulness tools, or a balance of both, depending on your needs.
When the breath wanders the mind is unsteady,
but when the breath is calmed, the mind too will be still.
~ Hatha Yoga Pradipika, 500-year-old yogic text
