About Christina

Christina Caffrey is a counsellor who uses attachment-based, client-centred and mindfulness approaches to help people facing stress and anxiety. She works with people dealing with grief, intimacy issues and depression, and she believes clients are the experts in their own stories. Christina has 12 years of experience and she encourages people to take the first step toward support when they feel ready.

Her way of working is simple and direct. She listens first, helping people find their own strengths and build on them. Sessions often focus on understanding relationship patterns, noticing unhelpful thoughts, and practising small, concrete changes that make daily life easier.

Christina draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape the way people connect now. Client-centred methods keep the conversation focused on the person's goals and experiences rather than prescriptive advice. Mindfulness practices are used to help with stress, sleep, and emotion regulation in practical, easy-to-use ways.

She has supported people through a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, codependency and chronic health challenges. Christina also works with issues around adoption and foster care, ageing, communication difficulties and relationship endings.

Her registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Sessions are offered in English and she practises in the United Kingdom. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early connections influence current relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions using this approach can help people recognise repeating patterns in relationships and practice different ways of relating in everyday life.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers. In an online setting the counsellor follows the person's lead, reflecting back what matters most and helping set achievable goals for change.

Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and improve sleep. These techniques are practical to use between sessions and can be guided remotely in short, manageable exercises.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals shift and progress is made.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as options are set by the therapist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer working from their own everyday surroundings rather than travelling to appointments.
