About Cristina

Cristina Nemes is a counsellor with seven years of practice, based in the United Kingdom. She is a BACP member, and she works in English and Romanian. Cristina concentrates on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression and the impact of trauma. She also supports people dealing with addictions, eating concerns, grief and relationship difficulties.

Her background includes clinical psychology, psychotherapy and hypnotherapy. Cristina says she blends cognitive approaches with mindfulness and pays attention to self-esteem and emotional resilience. She aims to help people change patterns of thinking and build practical skills to manage difficult feelings.

In sessions she helps clients identify life goals and practical next steps. She uses straightforward techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to develop skills for everyday coping. This can include working on sleep, anger, career decisions, or parenting strain depending on what the person brings.

Cristina also lists work with neurodiversity concerns and caregiver stress, and has experience related to adoption and attachment issues. She mentions experience with clinical work involving learning disabilities in children in earlier roles.

People who want a collaborative, goal-aware approach may find her style helpful. She encourages a combined focus on acceptance of difficult feelings and on making tangible changes that fit day-to-day life.

How these approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and short, structured tasks that can be reviewed between sessions to tackle anxiety, low mood and sleeping problems.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to meaningful action. This approach supports people managing chronic stress, grief or long-term health challenges by clarifying values and small behavioural steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods together in a collaborative way. Clients and therapist review what helps and adjust the plan as needed.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving and medical needs, and it can allow for shorter check-ins or sessions without being on camera. Many people find that working remotely makes regular attendance simpler while keeping the focus on practical skills and emotional coping.
