About Christina
Christina Caffrey is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and intimacy-related concerns. Christina also supports those dealing with relationship worries, trauma and issues around sleep, eating and parenting.
She approaches work from the view that people know their own stories and bring strengths to difficult situations. Sessions focus on listening to what matters to the client first. Christina uses a clear, conversational style so people can make sense of what is happening and decide on practical next steps.
Christina draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships. She uses client-centred ways of working to follow the client's priorities. Mindfulness tools are introduced to help manage intense feelings or recurring worries.
Her background includes helping people cope with life changes, codependency struggles, caregiver stress, and complex overlaps such as chronic illness plus mood symptoms. She also has experience with adoption and foster care matters, ageing and geriatric issues, and a range of personality and developmental concerns.
Sessions aim to strengthen the client’s own sense of agency. Christina explores how past experiences shape current reactions and supports practical experiments to try new responses. If someone wants to find out more, they are asked to use the online options to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Christina commonly draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice when working online. Attachment-based work looks at repeating relationship patterns and how early connection shapes reactions; it helps with intimacy issues and relationship-related stress. Client-centred work focuses on listening to the person's priorities and following their pace, helping people name what matters and choose next steps.She also brings in mindfulness techniques to help manage intense feelings and reduce rumination. These are simple attention and breathing practices that people can use between sessions to steady difficult moods or racing thoughts.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit the person’s goals and daily life. That choice can shift over time as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, keep shorter check-ins when needed, and use audio-only or low-bandwidth options if video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pace and tools so therapy fits around everyday responsibilities.
