About Cristina

Cristina Nemes is a counsellor with seven years of practice in the United Kingdom. She holds a BACP registration and a master's degree in Clinical Psychology and Intervention Techniques by Counselling and Psychotherapy. Cristina blends psychological approaches with practical skills so people can cope better with everyday pressures and painful feelings.

She focuses on helping people reduce anxiety and manage stress. She also supports those facing depression, addictions, trauma, eating difficulties and challenges around intimacy and relationships. Conversations aim to build emotional resilience, improve self-esteem and make daily life more manageable.

Cristina uses a mix of approaches that combine thinking-focused work with mindful awareness. She encourages clients to notice unhelpful thinking, try small behavioural changes, and practise acceptance when needed. Sessions often include exercises to regulate emotions and build new coping habits.

Her background spans clinical psychology, psychotherapy and hypnotherapy, and she has worked with people affected by PTSD and complex loss. She has experience with autism, attachment issues and caregiving stress, and she has used approaches informed by applied behaviour analysis when working with children with learning differences.

Sessions are offered in English and Romanian, and Cristina accepts international clients. People who choose to work with her usually start by describing the problem they want to change and setting simple, concrete goals. The emphasis is on steady progress and practical tools to use between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches used in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts without getting stuck in them, and encourages action guided by personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and issues where avoidance has become a problem.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and emotional responses. This approach can help people who struggle with trust, intimacy and recurring relationship anxieties.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The counsellor will work together with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration may mean trying different techniques and adapting as progress happens.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work across borders, so international clients can arrange appointments that suit their schedule.
