Christine Shaji

Counsellor and Psychotherapist

This is a space where transformation is possible. Rooted in a holistic, integrative approach, I provide counselling that honours the uniqueness of each individual. My practice utilises techniques from (but not limited to) humanistic, psychodynamic, strengths-based, and solution-focused methods to support you in navigating life’s challenges with empathy and care. At The Pearl Practice, you are met without judgment, and encouraged to explore, heal, and grow—at your own pace.

To create a safe and inclusive space where people can transform pain into strength, and reconnect with hope, healing, and self-understanding.
