About Cristina
Cristina Nemes is a counsellor and psychologist with seven years of clinical experience. She holds a BACP membership which she carries into her therapeutic work. Cristina speaks English and Romanian and offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Cristina focuses on helping people cope with anxiety, stress, depression and addictive behaviours. She also supports those facing trauma, eating difficulties, sleep problems and low self-esteem. Her work includes attention to grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, career stress and the strain of caregiving.
How Cristina works
Her approach combines practical talking therapies with mindfulness and emotion-focused tools. She uses methods that help people spot unhelpful thoughts, practise new behaviours and build emotional resilience. Sessions emphasise simple skills people can use between meetings to feel steadier day to day.
Cristina often draws on attachment ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses acceptance-focused methods to help people live with difficult feelings while pursuing meaningful goals. The overall aim is clearer priorities, steadier moods and more useful coping strategies.
People can work with Cristina by video call, phone, live chat or messaging. She guides each person through a practical plan, helps set realistic goals and adjusts pace to suit individual needs. To begin, individuals complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then focus on small actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try different ways of relating and managing emotion. It can be helpful for intimacy issues and for understanding recurring relationship struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce distress and improve daily functioning; it is widely used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences, then try methods that fit your needs. This is a collaborative process and techniques are adjusted as you progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions may be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let people update a counsellor between calls or use therapy in short bursts when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
