About Cristiana

We all go through difficult moments, no matter who we are or where we come from, and sometimes it is too hard to do that alone. You need somebody to talk to, somebody you feel comfortable enough with to open your heart. I believe the human relationship is the foundation of therapy. What I love is helping a person find themselves and their path, searching for the pieces and reconstructing the puzzle together. I want you to feel free to speak without fear of a moral judgement. I strive for a safe, nonjudgmental environment, where you can feel respected and cared for.

I see individuals.

I work online, by video. A first conversation can be 15 minutes, so we can see if I am the right person.

How Cristiana works

I start from a plain belief. We behave as we behave for a reason, even when that reason is not yet clear. Therapy is where we look for it, together. The approaches I draw on include cognitive behavioural therapy, person-centred work, a humanistic stance, emotionally focused work, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, trauma-focused work, rational emotive behaviour therapy, and family or couple work when that is what you came for.

What I hope you leave with is the freedom to speak, and a path that feels like yours. No matter what is going on, I am here.

What happens in our first session?

The first meeting can be 15 minutes, and nothing is attached to it.

I will not judge you morally for what you say.

Who do you work with best?

I work with individuals, with adults, and with elders, people of 65 and over. I also see couples. My main specialities are trauma and PTSD, addiction, and personality disorders. Around them I work with anger, stress, low mood, grief, conflict, relationships, change, and parenting. I also work with life transitions, divorce, and family conflict.
