About Cristina

Cristina Lorefice is a counsellor who helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or problems with eating and self‑esteem. She works with individuals who are struggling in relationships or feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and she connects with people across the United Kingdom and beyond.

Cristina draws on 16 years of experience to adapt the work to each person.

Background and approach

She uses a client‑centred stance, which means she follows the person’s pace and focuses on what matters to them. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and to try new ways of coping. Her background includes supporting people dealing with abandonment, body image and codependency concerns.

She has worked with those affected by cancer, caregiver stress, addiction and relationship breakdowns. Cristina also addresses communication and control issues that often sit behind repeated conflicts. In sessions she aims to make things clear and practical.

Conversations focus on real steps that can reduce anxiety, lift mood and improve everyday functioning. Mindfulness techniques are used at times to help ground attention and reduce reactivity. Cristina works within the framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

That registration is part of her professional standing in the UK and informs how she practises with clients. To begin clients use a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, which makes it possible to fit sessions around busy lives.

Ways of working Cristina names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Cristina’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client‑centred work focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. In practice this means conversations that centre your goals, pace and concerns, whether on video or by phone. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and supports small experiments to change patterns that cause distress. That approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful eating habits.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss different options, try tools together and adjust methods based on your needs and preferences. You and the therapist agree on goals and review progress as you go.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions remove the need for a camera and can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check‑ins, written reflection and people who prefer to process in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, while keeping the focus on making steady, useful change.
