Cristina Nemes , BACP

Cristina Nemes is a counsellor with seven years' experience who draws on a blend of psychological approaches to help people manage difficult emotions. She holds BACP membership and works with people facing anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma. Cristina offers practical, goal-focused support that helps people build everyday coping skills and greater emotional resilience.

Her sessions use straightforward techniques from cognitive approaches alongside mindfulness and acceptance ideas. She encourages clients to notice unhelpful thinking, try small behavioural experiments, and practise skills between sessions. The aim is to reduce immediate distress and create new ways of handling setbacks.

Cristina also works with eating concerns, low self-esteem, grief and intimacy-related difficulties. She supports people dealing with work stress, career decisions and the strain of caregiving. Her practice includes attention to attachment-related issues, abandonment, and challenges linked to neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

Clients can expect a calm, collaborative style. Cristina listens closely and tailors each session to the person in front of her rather than following a fixed protocol. She explains ideas in simple language and sets practical tasks when they will help progress.

Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Cristina provides a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to suit different needs and routines.

How Cristina's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and to take small committed steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions by focusing on values and manageable action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses brief experiments and practical tasks to reduce distress and build new habits. It suits problems like panic, depression and repetitive negative thinking.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress, making adjustments as needed so therapy stays relevant and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when a quieter space is available or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work when travel or scheduling would otherwise be a barrier.
