Christina Caffrey, BACP

Christina Caffrey is a counsellor with 12 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and depression. Christina encourages people to view themselves as the expert of their own story and to use their strengths when facing difficult changes.

Her approach starts by listening carefully to a person's experience. She uses client-centred listening to make space for what matters most to the individual. That helps people feel heard and decide what they want to work on first.

Christina also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This can be useful for intimacy-related concerns, relationship troubles and attachment issues. Narrative techniques are used to reframe difficult events and to put painful memories into a clearer context.

Mindfulness tools are offered to help with anxiety, sleeping problems and managing strong emotions. Motivational interviewing supports people who want change but feel stuck, such as with caring responsibilities, addiction patterns, or health-related goals.

She has worked across many presenting concerns including parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, adoption and foster care issues, and ageing and geriatric issues. Christina aims to create a calm environment where practical steps and personal strengths meet to help people move forward.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Christina uses client-centred listening to follow what matters most to each person. This means sessions focus on your priorities and pace rather than a fixed agenda. It helps with concerns such as anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

She also works from an attachment-informed perspective, looking at how relationship patterns influence current difficulties. That approach can be useful for intimacy issues, relationship communication and caregiver strain. Narrative techniques help people make sense of difficult experiences by organising their story in ways that reduce overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with you to decide which methods suit your goals and preferences. Together you can try different ways of working and adjust as needed so therapy fits your needs.

Please confirm available session formats before booking, as current options are set by the service. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical arrangements during the matching process so sessions work around daily routines and commitments.
