About Cristiane
Cristiane Cabrera offers a calm, steady presence for people facing change, loss or feeling overwhelmed. She combines nine years of practice with a warm, respectful manner. Clients meet someone who listens first and responds without pressure or hurry.
Cristiane trained and practises as a transpersonal arts counsellor and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. She leans on person-centred principles to understand each person as a whole. That means sessions are shaped around what matters to the individual, not a fixed agenda.
How Cristiane works
Her style is gentle and practical. She moves between conversation and creative options, such as simple art-based exercises, when those feel useful. Creative work is an invitation rather than a requirement, and many people prefer to talk through concerns instead.
Cristiane has focused experience with grief, bereavement and depression, and with difficulties around relationships, family issues and abandonment. She also supports people dealing with stress, workplace pressures, low self-esteem and anger, along with transitions that come from major life change. She has experience with neurodiversity and multicultural concerns and aims to be flexible and non-judgemental in her approach.
Sessions begin with a gentle introduction where a person can describe what they want to address and see if the fit feels right. Throughout work together Cristiane emphasises paced, reflective sessions that match what the person finds most helpful. The overall aim is to help people build clearer ways of coping and move forward with greater self-understanding.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape how people relate now. In practice this means exploring patterns in relationships and finding gentler ways to connect and set boundaries, which can help with loneliness, trust issues and relationship stress.Client-Centred Therapy gives the person control of the pace and focus of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgment and reflects back what they hear, helping the person find their own solutions for issues like low self-esteem or life transitions.
Solution-Focused Therapy targets practical changes and small goals. Sessions can be brief and goal-oriented, which suits people who want clear steps for coping or resolving a specific problem.
Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may shift over time as new priorities emerge.
Online formats offer real flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while still fitting around work or family commitments. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in when that is helpful. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or want more frequent, brief contact between scheduled sessions.
