Background and approach

Christina uses elements from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to make small changes that add up over time. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how relationships and early patterns affect current feelings. That can help with parenting worries, communication problems and feeling isolated.

Dialectical behaviour therapy skills are also drawn on when people need ways to regulate strong emotions and reduce overwhelm. Christina has five years of direct therapeutic experience. She supports people with panic symptoms, social anxiety, self-esteem struggles and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is collaborative - she helps clients choose strategies that fit their life and goals. Sessions are offered in English and are practical in tone. Christina aims to make getting help straightforward, focusing on steps people can try between appointments.

She encourages small, consistent changes rather than all-or-nothing efforts.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and finding direction after life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with small behavioural experiments to reduce symptoms like panic and social anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling, which can help with parenting worries, communication and feelings of isolation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Christina works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs and comfort. She may blend ACT, CBT and attachment ideas so the plan fits the client's life and preferences rather than sticking to one method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, chat suits short check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, parenting or daily routines.
