About Cristiane
Cristiane Cabrera offers a calm, person-centred approach for people feeling overwhelmed by loss, change, or strong emotions. She leads with gentle, reflective work and prioritises a respectful, tailored pace. Cristiane uses conversation and creative options so people can express themselves in ways that feel right for them.
She has nine years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Her sessions begin with a relaxed introduction where clients can say what has been happening and what they hope to gain.
Background and approach
The first meeting is also an opportunity to see if the working relationship feels comfortable. Cristiane’s style is practical and unhurried. She offers ideas and coping steps, but lets the client choose what fits.
Creative and arts-based methods are available as invitations rather than requirements for therapy. Her main focus areas include relationship and family concerns, grief and bereavement, depression, addiction, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports people with workplace issues, life transitions, and multicultural concerns.
There is experience working with neurodiversity and autism spectrum considerations. Sessions are delivered in English and Portuguese and are available to people internationally. Cristiane aims to create an accepting, flexible space where clients can explore difficult feelings, learn new ways to cope, and make decisions that suit their life.

Online support
Client-centred therapy focuses on seeing the person as a whole and following their lead. In practical terms this means sessions are paced around the client, with reflective listening and gentle questions to help people find their own solutions.
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and what works. It is useful for people who want short-term, goal-oriented steps to manage problems like workplace stress, coping with life changes or low self-esteem.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cristiane will discuss the options with each person and adapt techniques to match goals, preferences and practical needs. The aim is to agree a way of working that feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text-based messaging or live chat can suit quieter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
