About Cristina
Cristina Lorefice helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or problems with self-esteem. She is experienced in supporting people who are struggling with relationships and eating or body image concerns. Cristina works in English and Italian and practices from the United Kingdom.
Cristina uses a practical, down-to-earth style. Conversations focus on what is happening now, and on small steps that make a difference. She draws on client-centred work to listen closely and build a trusting space.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of thinking and behaving. Her background includes 16 years working with a wide range of difficulties. That experience has included addressing issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, control issues, and the emotional impact of cancer or caregiving.
Cristina also supports people facing addiction, domestic violence, and separation or divorce concerns. Sessions aim to be collaborative. Cristina will adapt conversations and tools to each person’s needs and preferences.
Mindfulness and existential approaches are used where they fit, helping people find greater clarity and more purposeful choices. People who contact Cristina usually want practical help and emotional support. She encourages slow, steady progress rather than quick fixes.
The work is focused on realistic goals and workable strategies that someone can use between sessions.

Online support
Deciding which approach will help most is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and current difficulties and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls provide face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and varying schedules, while still using the same therapeutic tools and structure you would expect in person.
