About Cristina
Cristina Lorefice is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of professional experience. She works with adults feeling stuck after changes in work, relationships or health. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, eating and self-esteem concerns, and depression.
Cristina uses straightforward talking therapy alongside practical steps. Sessions often include exploring what matters to a person now, looking at habits and thinking patterns, and practising mindful ways to respond to difficult moments. She draws on client-centred principles and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people weigh options and try small changes.
Her background includes long experience with a wide range of concerns. That includes help for people coping with abandonment, body image and family difficulties, as well as those affected by illness, caregiving strain, addiction or separation. She also works with issues such as communication problems, control struggles and codependency.
Sessions are conversational and task-focused when useful. Clients can expect a mix of listening, reflection and concrete exercises to test new approaches between meetings. Cristina speaks English and Italian and is able to work with people internationally.
She asks new clients to use the online matching process to book a first meeting. The therapist describes her style as collaborative, and she aims to work with each person to find what fits their life and goals.
How her approaches translate to online working
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful therapeutic relationship. It helps people clarify what matters to them and make choices that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test different ways of thinking and behaving. Existential Therapy addresses questions about meaning, change and responsibility and can help when a life event leaves someone wondering what comes next.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cristina discusses the options with each person and they decide together which mix of methods to try. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as goals and needs become clearer.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around daily life and keeping continuity when travel or distance is an obstacle. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Many people find shorter check-ins, phone options that use less bandwidth, or video sessions that allow face-to-face conversation helpful for maintaining progress between busy commitments.
