About Christina

Christina Caffrey is a counsellor with 12 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She approaches therapy with the view that each person knows their own story and brings strengths that can help them through hard times. Christina aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and respectful, and she encourages people to acknowledge the courage it takes to begin.

Her practice focuses on common life challenges such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports people dealing with grief and loss, intimacy-related concerns, anger, sleeping and eating difficulties, and changing family dynamics. Christina works with issues linked to neurodiversity, attachment, caregiving stress, chronic health challenges and longer term mood concerns as well.

Christina draws on approaches that place the person at the centre of the work. She uses client-centred methods to listen and respond to what matters most to the individual. Attachment-based ideas guide attention to relationships and how early patterns affect current life.

Mindfulness and narrative methods are used to help people notice thoughts and feelings, and to tell their experiences in ways that reduce stuck patterns. Motivational interviewing supports steps towards change when motivation feels mixed or unclear.

Christina holds BACP registration, which reflects her commitment to professional standards. Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom. To begin, a client completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules according to the therapist's availability.

How Christina's approaches translate to online work

Christina commonly uses client-centred methods that focus on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around their priorities rather than imposing a fixed plan.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and how these affect current difficulties. That work can be useful for people wanting to understand recurrent conflicts, intimacy issues or ways of connecting with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Christina will work collaboratively to decide which combination of methods fits a person's goals and preferences. She adapts pace and techniques based on what the client finds most helpful.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue therapy during periods of change or when rearranging in-person visits would be difficult.
