About Christina

Christina Caffrey is a counsellor who uses relational and person-centred approaches to help people find steadier ground. She works in ways that foreground the client’s story and strengths. Christina has 12 years of professional experience in the UK and holds BACP registration, which she lists as her credential.

She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps those coping with grief, intimacy-related concerns and life changes. Her background includes work with issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood difficulties, trauma and compassion fatigue.

Christina prefers to build a gentle, respectful working relationship. She sees the person’s own experience as central and listens for patterns in relationships and attachment. Sessions often focus on understanding what keeps difficult feelings active and on small changes that make daily life easier.

Her practice also pays attention to practical stresses like sleep problems, eating concerns and chronic health challenges. Christina has experience with adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, ageing issues and communication difficulties. She aims to help people manage overwhelming times with clear steps and compassionate listening.

Signing up for therapy is framed as a first step together. Christina guides people through a short matching process and scheduling to begin the work. She encourages realistic goals and gradual progress from the very first sessions.

Step 3

How attachment and client-centred work translate online

Attachment-informed work looks at how past and present relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions can be used to notice interaction patterns and try new responses in a safe conversation. Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and following their priorities; it gives space for the client to lead the topics that matter most.

Mindfulness practice in sessions offers simple ways to notice stress and calm the body. These exercises can help with anxiety, sleep problems and managing overwhelming feelings. Christina treats choice of approach as a collaborative decision and will talk through options based on goals, needs and preferences rather than assuming one method fits everyone.

Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Many people find online work helpful for fitting therapy into a busy week, reducing travel and keeping sessions regular. It can make it easier to use short check-ins, focus on breathing or bring in written reflections between sessions, depending on what the client and therapist agree will be most useful.
