About Christina

Hi There

 

So many people struggle with low self-esteem and/or people-pleasing tendencies these days.

 

How do I know this?

 

Because I’m a recovering people-pleaser too and I see it everywhere.

 

My name is Christina Hetherington and I used to be a chronic people-pleaser who always put EVERYBODY else first. I worried constantly about what other people thought of me, found it impossible to ever say no to anyone and nowhere near fulfilled a fraction of my potential as I wouldn’t go for anything! For many years my life was flat and dull, like it was in black and white.

 

In my late 30’s I trained to be a clinical hypnotherapist and life coach and that’s when I realised just how unhealthy my self-esteem was. I also discovered I was an HSP – A Highly Sensitive Person. And suddenly it all made sense. Fast forward 14 years and hundreds of clients who also had low self-esteem and I believe I now have the winning formula. The answer to turning low self esteem on its head. I want to share with you all the wisdom, experience and insights that I’ve gained through my self-esteem journey, and those of my clients. I’ve made massive changes in all areas and I’m happy to say I now live my life in full colour!

 

Every single area of my life has improved. I’ve never been happier and more fulfilled.

 

The only way to like yourself, I mean REALLY like yourself is to heal the core wounds from your childhood and early life and then to reprogramme your mind for positivity, self-love and acceptance.

 

We all have an image of ourselves – who we think we are deep down. But this self-image often doesn’t reflect who we are at all. Unfortunately that faulty self-image is literally controlling our life.

 

When you have low self-esteem you go through life hiding your true self – either staying small/invisible or alternatively working non-stop and pursuing success or money relentlessly.

 

Deep down, you don’t like yourself; you believe that you are flawed in some way or unworthy. But you don’t actually know the real you. You can’t see it. You only know and can see the self-image that you were given as a child. That’s not the REAL you.

 

The answers that can resolve this are inside you and I can help you find them.

 

Highly sensitive people with low self-esteem are usually the loveliest people – they’re the ones who give and give and give and everyone says “Oh yes they’re lovely”.

 

They’re the good people who deserve the most out of life but often get the least.

 

I affectionately call them my Lovelies.

 

Unfortunately their loveliness can be like a curse that only brings them unhappiness, unfulfillment and resentment.

 

I want to change all that. I’m here to empower all you Lovelies. If you’re ready to transform how you feel about yourself – to stop over giving and getting hardly anything back then come with me.

 

The workaholic type person also has low self esteem, although you would never think it. They are the super-driven, super-successful, wealthy, go-getters. They often have a myriad of problems despite their financial success. They can suffer with drink/drug problems, overeating, stress, depression, anxiety, divorce/relationship issues and general life dissatisfaction. They struggle in their emotional life because deep down they don’t like themselves. This almost always stems from issues in their childhood. They’re not bad people at all, they were just given bad programming/beliefs when they were young. It’s given them an incredible drive to succeed but poor emotional intelligence. Emotions are uncomfortable for them to deal with so they just bury them and lose themselves in their work/business.

 

I think of them as my LONELY clients so I affectionately call them my LONELIES.

 

I want to help all you Lonelies see that a happy, rich emotional life is possible for you.

 

I focus on supporting my people-pleasing LOVELIES on Instagram and Facebook.

 

I focus on supporting my success-seeking LONELIES on LinkedIn.

 

I’m a woman on a mission. I see the good in people and I help them to see it too. I have X-ray vision. I can see what you can’t see and I can bring it out into the light.

 

I have a calling, a Divine Assignment – it’s to help you to have the life that you truly deserve.

 

Let me share my Dream Self Esteem magic with you.

 

Christina xx

 

Praise for Christina

  • “I arrived at Christina's door at my lowest ebb. Exhausted by a life of feeling inadequate, I decided something had to change. Initially, I was apprehensive and scared; I was concerned that I would be judged and anxious and I would not know what to say, having spent a lifetime keeping everything to myself. How wrong I was on all levels. Through patience, listening and incredible coaching Christina unpicked my problems and gave me the strength and courage to rebuild myself as a new person. She made the big questions and issues in my life seem logical, giving me the self belief that I could navigate a new path for myself and my family. I talked and talked and talked. Christina listened, non-judgementally, for hours as I let out a lifetime of emotions I had never dealt with. She continually stressed to me that "I was enough" and helped me see that this was true. 
I have now completed my sessions and am coping on my own. I feel as though my life has finally begun and I can never thank Christina enough for the impact she has had on my life. We often talked about divine timing, and the right moment - this was genuinely the case for me. Now I am living life with "the lights turned on" and if angels really do exist - I met one in Christina”

  • “Christina has been invaluable in allowing me to move onto the next stage in my life with confidence and enabling me to clarify aspects of my life which I can manage and also those aspects I don’t want to bring with me as they are not serving me positively. My mind used to race at one hundred and one miles an hour but I’ve learnt with Christina’s guidance to slow down and process. I’ve always struggled to genuinely like myself for who I am but I have now found ways to accept and grow who I am and develop rather than need to alter myself from the outside”

  • “I came to Christina for help with anxiety issues. Through much exploration with the help of Christina’s compassionate listening skills, we found the root cause of my issue. My self-esteem was incredibly low. Christina helped me release my long repressed negative emotions and incorporated lots of positive suggestion to raise my confidence and self-esteem. Since having been coached by Christina, I am a new woman. I have found my passion in life, made huge changes in my relationships and even found the courage to start my own business doing what I love. This all came from making an investment in myself. The ultimate act of self-love! I can’t thank Christina enough and have since encouraged as many people as possible to seek help from her. Christina is such a warm, wise woman. Let her impact your life as much as she has mine.”

  • “I was fortunate to have Christina recommended to me by a friend. She is a very warm, caring lady who I instantly connected to and felt comfortable talking with. It wasn’t until I spoke with Christina that I realised just how low my self-esteem was. Through highly effective coaching, Christina worked with me to rebuild my confidence and realise my self-worth. Christina’s cheerful and positive personality is infectious and I used to leave my sessions feeling so much lighter and happier than when I arrived. She has taught me the true meaning of self-esteem and I have learned so much about my value and self-worth. Low self-esteem impacts so many aspects of our lives and those that we interact with. It’s not about being better than anyone else, it’s about being kinder to yourself and realising you have the right to feel happy and confident in your own skin. I cannot recommend this wonderful lady enough"
