About Cristiane
Cristiane trained as a transpersonal arts counsellor and uses a person-centred approach. She listens first, then shapes sessions around what each person needs. That means practical, paced conversations and room for reflection rather than a fixed plan.
Her work often includes creative or reflective options such as art when speaking feels hard. These are offered as invitations, not requirements, and many people choose to stay with conversation only.
She supports people with stress, grief and bereavement, depression, abandonment and multicultural concerns. Cristiane also helps with isolation and loneliness, workplace issues, anger, low self-esteem, relationship challenges and family difficulties.
There is experience supporting neurodiversity, and sessions aim to be flexible, affirming and non-judgemental. The first session is a gentle introduction to what has been happening and what a person hopes to gain. Cristiane focuses on making sure people feel heard and understood before deciding next steps.

How Cristiane’s approaches fit with online counselling
Cristiane uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This helps when people are working through relationship hurt, trust issues or feelings of abandonment. Client-centred work means the session follows the person’s pace and priorities, focusing on listening and understanding rather than a fixed agenda. Solution-focused therapy highlights practical steps and small changes that can make daily life feel more manageable.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That way they shape a plan collaboratively and adapt methods as things change.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Cristiane’s methods translate to a remote setting because they rely on careful listening, pacing and practical tasks rather than specialised equipment. Online work can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier and can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also reduce travel and help maintain continuity when life is changing, while the therapist and client decide together how to work best for each session.
