About Cristina

Cristina Nemes is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical experience. She has an academic background in clinical psychology and psychotherapy and works with people facing anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and eating difficulties. Cristina also lists relationship, family and blended family issues among her areas of focus, and speaks English and Romanian.

She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients notice unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Sessions often include cognitive techniques paired with mindfulness and emotion regulation skills. Cristina aims to help people set life goals, manage difficult feelings and build day-to-day routines that feel more manageable.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and collaborative planning. The therapist draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-focused work to address patterns that affect relationships and wellbeing. She also uses elements from dialectical behaviour work to support emotional stability.

Cristina has experience working with a wide range of concerns, including sleep problems, parenting stress, grief, self-esteem and neurodiverse presentations. She notes work with people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness and caregiving stress among other areas.

Her profile describes previous roles in clinical psychology, counselling and hypnotherapy, and experience with applied behavioural approaches when supporting children with learning differences. For international clients or those wanting sessions in Romanian, she can work in both English and Romanian.

Therapeutic approaches used online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without trying to fight them and then choosing actions that match your priorities. This can help people who feel stuck with anxiety, low mood or repeated unhelpful behaviours.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to test and change unhelpful thinking. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems and eating concerns.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions and trust. It can be useful for people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy-related issues and blended family tensions.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will pick strategies and adjust them over time so sessions stay relevant.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school runs, work breaks or care commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video if that suits someone better.
