Cristiane Cabrera , BACP

Cristiane Cabrera offers a calm, supportive counseling space for people navigating change, loss, or emotional overwhelm. She is a transpersonal arts counselor with nine years of experience working with both adults and children, and she is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Cristiane combines clinical training with a gentle, reflective manner to help clients feel understood and respected.

Cristiane practices in a person-centered way, taking time to understand each individual as a whole person and tailoring support to their needs. Her work blends practical strategies with reflective listening, and sessions are paced to suit what feels most helpful. When appropriate, she may invite creative or art-based methods to support expression, particularly when words are hard to find - these options are offered as invitations rather than requirements. Many people also choose to work entirely through conversation, which Cristiane equally welcomes.

She specializes in relationship and family concerns, grief and bereavement, depression, abandonment issues, multicultural matters, isolation and loneliness, workplace difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, and life transitions. Cristiane has experience supporting neurodiversity and aims to provide a flexible, affirming, and non-judgmental environment. The first session is a gentle introduction to share what has been happening, explore goals for counseling, and decide whether working together feels like a good fit. She offers services in English and Portuguese and is based in the United Kingdom while accepting international clients via remote sessions.

Approach-Focused Support for Online Therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps clients explore attachment needs, repair relationship difficulties, and build more secure connections with others, which can be useful for issues like abandonment, relationship conflict, and family problems.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's experience and aims to create a respectful, non-judgmental space where the person defines goals and pace. It supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and coping with life changes by focusing on empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration.

Cristiane works collaboratively to find the best approach for each person - she listens to individual needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques accordingly. Finding the right therapeutic fit is part of the process, and she involves clients in deciding which methods feel most helpful.

Online therapy with Cristiane is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from wherever a client is located, fit sessions into busy lives, and continue work between in-person commitments when needed.
