About Christina

Christina Caffrey is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, intimacy-related concerns and depression, among other difficulties. Christina describes clients as the experts in their own stories and builds on people’s existing strengths.

She takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. Sessions are meant to be a place to talk through what is happening now and to make sense of repeating patterns. Christina listens for how past attachments and relationships shape current reactions. She uses that information to help people respond differently to triggers and tensions.

Mindfulness and narrative techniques feature in her work. These methods are used to notice unhelpful thoughts, explore life stories, and find small ways to reduce stress day to day. Motivational interviewing supports practical steps when someone wants to make changes but feels stuck.

Christina aims to support people coping with life changes, parenting pressures, and long-term conditions that affect mood and daily routines. She also addresses issues such as sleep problems, eating concerns, and compassion fatigue that can worsen anger and irritability.

Her style is collaborative and conversational. People can expect clear reflections, gentle challenges, and practical ideas to try between sessions. To start, clients follow the site's match and booking process to arrange a first meeting.

How Christina uses approaches in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current responses. In online sessions Christina helps people notice patterns of relating and how those patterns affect anger, trust and closeness. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre; sessions aim to reflect what the client says and to build clearer self-understanding. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and to calm strong emotions so they are easier to manage.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christina will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit the client’s situation. That collaborative process includes checking what helps and adjusting the plan over time.

The practical benefits of online sessions are about fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm the available session formats before booking through the site. Online work can save travel time, make scheduling around work or care responsibilities easier, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises or narrative tasks between meetings to reinforce changes discussed in sessions.
