Cristiane Cabrera , BACP

Cristiane Cabrera is a transpersonal arts counselor with nine years of experience supporting adults and children through periods of change, loss, and emotional overwhelm. She offers a calm, person-centered approach that treats each person as a whole and adapts sessions to what feels most helpful and respectful for the individual. Cristiane blends gentle reflection with practical tools, pacing work carefully so people do not need to arrive with all the answers or know exactly where to begin.

Her practice can include creative and reflective methods, such as art, when those approaches feel useful for expression. These options are offered as invitations rather than requirements, and many people choose to work through conversation alone. Cristiane aims to create a flexible, affirming, and non-judgmental space that accommodates a variety of communication styles and needs.

She specializes in areas including stress, grief and bereavement, depression, abandonment, multicultural concerns, isolation and loneliness, workplace issues, anger management, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, and life transitions. She also has experience supporting neurodiversity and parenting challenges. Cristiane is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

The first session is a gentle introduction where she invites people to share what has been happening, what they hope to gain from counseling, and to explore whether working together feels like a good fit. Her priority is to offer a compassionate, professional space where people feel heard and supported.

Therapeutic approaches and online work with Cristiane Cabrera

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past and present relationships shape emotional responses and connection patterns. Cristiane uses this approach to explore attachment needs, relationship struggles, and feelings of abandonment in a way that supports healing and clearer patterns of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and meeting people where they are. In this approach Cristiane creates a respectful, person-led environment so individuals can reflect, find their own insights, and build self-directed coping skills.

Solution-Focused Therapy is practical and goal-oriented, concentrating on strengths, recent successes, and small steps that move a person toward desired changes. It can be useful for managing life transitions, workplace challenges, and short-term goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Cristiane collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as the work unfolds so the process feels both supportive and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility to meet by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access support from different locations. Working online can help maintain consistency, accommodate different communication styles, and provide timely therapeutic contact with licensed professionals and therapists when needed.
