About Christina
Christina Caffrey is a counsellor with 12 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom.

She believes people are the experts on their own lives and that their strengths matter.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on listening, gentle questioning and helping clients notice different ways to understand difficult events. That can make problems feel less overwhelming and open up new choices. Christina draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
This can be useful for those who find themselves repeating the same difficulties in close relationships or struggle with trust and closeness. She also uses client-centred ways of working to keep the conversation focused on the client’s priorities and pace. Simple mindfulness practices are introduced when they help with anxiety, sleeplessness or intense emotions.
Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want clear, practical steps to change habits or cope with life transitions. Sessions aim to be practical and down to earth. Christina is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Her online practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging so people can choose what suits them best.

Online session options
How narrative and attachment ideas shape online therapy
Christina uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and their lives. This approach focuses on separating a person from their problems so they can see new possibilities and make different choices. It is often helpful for people managing depression, grief, or relationship difficulties.She also brings in Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early bonds influence current relationship patterns. That can help people who struggle with closeness, trust or repeating difficult relationship cycles. Client-Centred Therapy keeps sessions grounded in the client’s priorities, giving them control over pace and focus.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit those needs. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works for short check-ins or ongoing support. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the therapeutic focus on change and understanding.
