About Cristina
Cristina Lorefice is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, eating concerns and depression. She speaks English and Italian and brings 16 years of professional experience to sessions. Cristina aims to create a compassionate space where people can start to make changes at a manageable pace.
She adapts her approach to each person rather than using a single method for everyone. Sessions draw on client-centred conversations that prioritise what matters to the individual. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when unhelpful thoughts and behaviours are getting in the way of daily life.
Cristina also works with issues such as abandonment worries, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, divorce and separation, and substance-related concerns. She has experience supporting people affected by domestic violence and those coping with cancer related stress.
In practice she blends mindfulness and existential ideas to help people clarify values, handle uncertainty and notice patterns that hold them back. The aim is practical progress - small changes that make day-to-day living easier and more meaningful. Cristina explains options clearly and tailors plans to individual goals.
Her style is warm and direct. She encourages people to set realistic steps and notices progress along the way. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a session.
How Cristina's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you. In practice this means conversations that follow your priorities and help you make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. That can help with anxiety, low mood and repetitive behaviours.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Cristina will discuss your goals and preferences in the first sessions and suggest ways to combine methods. Together you can try approaches, review what helps, and adjust plans so the work fits your needs.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as squeezing in appointments around work or caregiving. It can reduce travel time and make regular check-ins simpler. Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online sessions to maintain momentum between face-to-face meetings and to support steady progress over time.
