Cristina Lorefice , BACP

Cristina Lorefice is a UK-licensed therapist with 16 years of clinical experience and a BACP credential, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She provides support in both English and Italian and works with people facing a wide range of emotional and relational difficulties.

Her practice has addressed depression, stress, anxiety, anger, relationship challenges, domestic violence, eating disorders, OCD, low motivation, and self-esteem concerns. She also works with issues such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, addiction, family problems, and separation, attending to both immediate symptoms and broader life patterns.

Cristina uses a fluid, holistic approach that combines client-centered listening with evidence-based strategies such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-based methods. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person’s specific needs, bringing sensitivity and compassion to the therapeutic relationship. Seeking change can be difficult; Cristina aims to offer steady support and empowerment to those taking steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Cristina uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on empathic listening and helps people explore their feelings and values to find their own solutions, which can be useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT offers practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by building new coping strategies and shifting thinking habits.

Mindfulness-based methods are integrated to help people develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactive patterns. These practices can support emotion regulation, stress reduction, and increased clarity in decision-making.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Cristina, as a licensed professional, works collaboratively with each person to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access care from different locations. These options offer flexibility and continuity of support, allowing clients to engage in meaningful therapeutic work in a way that suits their life.
