Cristina Lorefice

Cristina Lorefice is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. She also supports those struggling with eating concerns and depression. Cristina speaks English and Italian and brings 16 years of professional experience to her work.

Her approach is flexible and person-focused. She listens first, then tailors conversations and a plan to each person's needs. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward, with clear steps to try between meetings.

Cristina uses a mix of methods, including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. She draws on ideas from existential thinking and Imago approaches when they suit a person’s goals. This mix lets her adapt to different problems from low mood to communication difficulties.

She has worked with many concerns over the years, such as abandonment issues, body image, addiction, caregiver stress, and family problems. Cristina also supports people facing major life changes like divorce or cancer-related challenges. Her style is warm and respectful, focusing on helping people find more balance and clearer choices.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions around availability. Cristina uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and she is open to working with international clients.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centred work focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. It helps when someone needs a safe space to be heard and to explore feelings at their own pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and helps people try concrete experiments and new ways of coping for anxiety, low mood or eating-related worries. Mindfulness-based ideas teach simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce stress and improve focus.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try methods that feel right and adjust them as needed to fit progress and life demands.

The biography does not specify the exact online session formats offered, so please confirm format options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For some people, not needing to travel helps keep continuity during work or caregiving routines, while others prefer longer sessions to work through deeper issues. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote work so practical steps continue between meetings.
