About Cristina
Cristina Jimenez is an ACA counsellor and psychotherapist who blends talk therapy with body-focused methods. She works with adults to address anxiety, stress, depression and relationship struggles. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel safer in their day-to-day lives.
Cristina places attention on both mind and body. She uses movement-based techniques alongside conversation to help feelings be noticed and shifted. This can be useful when emotions feel stuck or hard to name.
She also brings experience supporting people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and problems with self-esteem. Cristina helps people talk through intimacy, sexuality and identity concerns in a non-judgemental way. She pays attention to how past attachments and abandonment issues can show up in current relationships.
Her background as a dancer and dance movement therapist shapes how she works. Cristina listens for bodily signals, breath and posture as part of the therapeutic process. She is training in Somatic Experiencing at a beginning level to deepen this somatic focus.
Cristina aims to build a collaborative relationship in which goals are clear and practical steps are agreed. She supports people facing chronic illness, caregiving strain, body image worries and communication problems. Her style is steady, empathetic and practical.
How Cristina adapts therapeutic approaches online
Cristina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside somatic and movement-informed work. One approach involves gentle somatic awareness, helping people notice bodily sensations linked to emotions and to develop new patterns of response; this can help with trauma, anxiety and stress. Another focus is relational work that looks at communication patterns and attachment issues, helping people change how they relate to others and manage conflict.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Cristina will work with each person to identify what feels most useful, trying different methods and checking in about what helps meet their goals. She aims to adapt movement-informed and conversational work so it fits each person's needs and comfort level.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and the ability to maintain continuity when travel or life changes make in-person visits harder. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. The emphasis is on making therapy manageable within everyday life, with the therapist and client agreeing on what works best.
