About Cristina

Cristina Nemes is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical experience. She offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and eating difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and Cristina accepts international clients.

Cristina uses evidence-informed methods that mix cognitive approaches with mindfulness. She focuses on helping people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills. Sessions include talking through current problems and practising strategies that can be used between meetings.

Parents and adults worried about family strain will find practical attention to everyday pressures. Cristina addresses parenting stress, relationship tensions and issues that affect family life, such as grief, intimacy and communication problems. She also works with concerns linked to identity and LGBT matters, self-esteem and body image.

Her wider focus covers ADHD, attachment and adoption-related themes, caregiver stress, chronic illness and ageing issues. Cristina also supports people dealing with career difficulties, compassion fatigue and the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters. The aim is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

Sessions tend to combine talking therapy with exercises drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches, acceptance-based ideas and skills training. Cristina encourages clear goals and small steps, so people can test changes between appointments. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and then choosing actions that align with personal values; it can help with anxiety, low mood and parenting stress. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs a clear, accepting space to think through relationship or family problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behaviour with concrete exercises and homework, useful for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and make choices together about which approaches to try. That collaborative process helps decide when to use more skills training, acceptance-based work or deeper attachment-focused discussion.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life, for example by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or avoiding camera use when that helps someone stay focused. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote meetings so the work can continue between sessions.
