Christina Caffrey, BACP

Christina Caffrey uses a gentle, person-focused approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She brings 12 years of experience and a BACP credential. Christina writes simply and listens closely so people can tell their story in their own words.

She treats each person as the expert in their life. Sessions aim to build on strengths and make clear, manageable changes. Christina says starting therapy takes courage and steers the pace to what the client can handle.

Her background includes work with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, and issues linked to trauma and abuse. Christina also supports people dealing with sleep and eating problems, anger, low self-esteem and major life transitions. She has additional experience with adoption and foster care, ageing and geriatric issues, and long-term health challenges.

Christina draws on Attachment-Based, Client-Centred and Mindfulness therapies as well as Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy. In practice this means attention to how early relationships shape current feelings, listening without judgement, and using mindful exercises to steady attention. Conversations also look at personal stories people tell about themselves and small steps that can create momentum.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video, phone, live chat or messaging. Christina explains the process clearly, helps people set achievable goals, and supports them as they make changes at a realistic pace.

How attachment, mindfulness and story work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotions and patterns. In online sessions this can help people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and practise different ways of connecting.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said, and helps people find their own solutions to worries like anxiety or depression.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises to reduce overwhelm and steady emotions. These practices can be used between sessions to manage sleep, stress or painful thoughts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christina will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree on methods together. That collaborative process makes it easier to try an approach and adjust it as needed.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, while live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help make regular therapy more flexible and easier to maintain.
