Cristina Lorefice, BACP

Cristina Lorefice offers support to people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship pain, eating concerns, low self-esteem and depression. She speaks English and Italian and works from a person-focused, practical stance. Cristina's profile is suited to someone who wants straightforward help and clear steps to feel steadier in day-to-day life.

Cristina has a BACP credential and brings 16 years of professional experience. She uses a flexible approach that adapts to what a person needs most. Sessions focus on plain conversation, noticing patterns, and trying small changes that can make life easier.

Her work draws on Client-Centred ideas, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Existential perspectives, with influences from Imago relationship work and mindfulness. That mix means she can help with emotional habits, thoughts that keep people stuck, and the meaning questions that come up during hard times.

Typical sessions look at immediate problems and practical coping strategies. Cristina also pays attention to how relationships and past experiences shape current choices. She aims to build a respectful space where people can name worries and test new ways of responding.

People who choose her often want a gentle but direct counsellor who balances listening with clear suggestions. To begin, readers are invited to use the Start Therapy flow and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange a first appointment.

How Cristina's approaches work online

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people see how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. Online sessions using CBT can target anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits by identifying patterns and practising new responses. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding; online talks using this approach aim to give people the space to be heard and to clarify what they want to change.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Cristina will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That means adjusting the balance of practical tasks, reflective conversation and mindfulness exercises as sessions progress.

For practical use, online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow a shorter check-in when life is hectic, or a longer session when tackling more complex issues.
