About Christina

Christina Caffrey works with people on stress, anxiety, grief, intimacy-related concerns and depression using an approach that centres the person's own experience and strengths. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has 12 years of professional experience.

Christina follows a client-centred way of working. She treats the person as the expert on their life and listens for what matters most to them. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation about current problems, and on spotting strengths that can be used to manage difficult moments.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. That can be useful for people who find intimacy and trust hard, or who repeat unhelpful relationship patterns.

Mindfulness tools are used to help with stress, anxiety and sleep problems. These are simple exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations, which can reduce the pull of overwhelming feelings in the moment.

Narrative and motivational techniques help people tell their story in new ways and find motivation for change. Christina uses these approaches to support work on anger, self-esteem, parenting strains, and coping with life transitions.

Her wider practice includes work with trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar and long-term health issues, as well as adoption and foster care matters. People who want to begin are invited to use the website matching process to arrange an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Christina often works from a client-centred stance, which means the session follows what the person brings and focuses on their priorities. This approach helps with emotional distress, low mood and relationship concerns by making space to talk through what's happening now.

Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships influence present patterns. Online work can use these ideas to notice recurring relationship behaviours and practise different ways of relating in everyday life.

Mindfulness therapy offers brief exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations with less reactivity. These practices can help with anxiety, sleep difficulties and stress by teaching simple attention and breathing strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will discuss the options with each person and decide together which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. This remains an ongoing conversation rather than a one-off choice.

The practical benefits of online counselling include easier fitting of sessions into daily routines and fewer travel demands, which can help people keep regular appointments. The biography does not state which specific session formats are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. Many people find shorter check-ins, telephone or video options useful for different circumstances, and Christina aims to plan sessions that suit the individual's schedule and practical needs.
