About Cristina
Cristina Nemes brings seven years of clinical experience to her work with people facing major life shifts and emotional strain. She is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) registered practitioner and uses a blend of psychological methods to help clients manage stress, anxiety and other difficulties. Cristina speaks English and Romanian and practises from the United Kingdom.
She frames sessions around practical change and deeper understanding. Cristina combines cognitive approaches with mindful awareness to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and trial new responses. The work often includes building self-esteem, learning emotion regulation skills, and setting life goals that feel meaningful.
Cristina draws on several evidence-based tools to tailor sessions to each person. She uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients accept difficult feelings without being overwhelmed by them. Cognitive Behavioural techniques are used to identify and change thinking that fuels anxiety, depression or cravings.
Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and recurring emotional reactions. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are applied when stronger emotion regulation or distress tolerance strategies are needed. Sessions are conversational and practical, with clear steps to try between meetings.
She works with a wide range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, eating issues, grief, parenting strain, ADHD and midlife transitions. Cristina aims to help people feel more capable, more accepting of themselves, and better able to cope with change.

How Cristina's approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions; it focuses on values and small, practical steps towards a life someone cares about. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers concrete experiments and homework to shift patterns that maintain anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy concentrates on how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and aims to build safer ways of relating and responding to others.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Cristina will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then work collaboratively to try methods that suit the person's situation. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what proves useful.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. Some formats are more suited to quieter conversations, while others use less bandwidth or are quicker for brief updates; Cristina will help find practical arrangements that fit everyday life.
