About Cristina

Cristina Nemes is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She draws on seven years of clinical practice to help people manage anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma. Cristina speaks English and Romanian and works with adults on issues such as grief, low self-esteem, parenting stress and relationship worries.

She combines cognitive approaches with mindfulness and compassionate self-acceptance. Sessions focus on practical skills for coping, spotting unhelpful thinking, and building emotional resilience. Cristina encourages people to set life goals and to take small steps towards change.

Cristina also brings experience from clinical psychology, psychotherapy and hypnotherapy, and she has worked with people affected by eating difficulties, PTSD and bipolar mood challenges. Her background includes work alongside children with learning differences using applied behaviour analysis, though her profile focuses on adult counselling needs.

Adoption and foster care appears among her additional focus areas, and she can support people navigating related concerns such as attachment, abandonment and blended family stress. She tailors sessions to each person’s situation and preferences.

Cristina describes her work as collaborative and practical. She aims to help clients recognise helpful patterns, practise new responses, and notice small improvements over time. Conversations are paced to the individual and intended to fit around everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes because it focuses on practical steps rather than fighting every difficult feeling.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment worries or difficulty forming close connections to understand and change those patterns in day-to-day relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cristina will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then suggest ways of working that match your needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep continuity during life changes and help people maintain momentum between appointments. The specific session formats available should be confirmed before booking so you know what to expect. Online work aims to let therapy slot into everyday routines while keeping the focus on skills, reflection and steady progress.
