Christa Mackinnon

Initially I read Social Psychology at Berlin University and then worked as a lecturer and researcher at the university. I subsequently trained as a Family Counseller and Clinical Hypnotherapist. I worked internationally as a therapist and trainer for over 25 years, specialising in complex trauma, child abuse and related mental/emotional issues. I have provided training and consultancy on these issues for many different organisations and professionals in Europe as well as in Asia and Africa. In parallel with my work as a trauma specialist, I functioned for 12 years as the SW course director and lecturer for an international training institute, which trained Hypnotherapists to MSc level in partnership with a London University, and I was a honorary fellow at the University of Exeter Medical School, a part-time post which I still hold.
