Cristiane Cabrera
Gentle, creative counselling for life changes
About Cristiane
Cristiane Cabrera brings nine years of practical counselling experience to people facing difficult life moments. She creates a calm, respectful space where clients can start without having all the answers. Sessions move at a steady, considered pace and aim to help people feel heard.
Cristiane uses both conversation and optional creative methods to support emotional expression. Her background is in transpersonal arts counselling and she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
That mix means she values the whole person and looks beyond symptoms to understand context and meaning. Practical steps and gentle reflection are woven into each session. Cristiane often uses art or reflective exercises when words are hard to find.
These are always offered as optional tools rather than requirements. Many people choose to focus on talk-based counselling and find that equally helpful. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, grief and bereavement, depression, abandonment, multicultural issues, loneliness, workplace problems, anger, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, family problems, addictions, and life transitions.
She also has experience supporting neurodiversity and aims to be flexible and non-judgemental. The first meeting is an introduction where a person can describe what has been happening and what they hope to change. That session is used to agree practical goals and check whether the counsellor-client fit feels right.
The emphasis is on steady, compassionate support tailored to each person’s needs.

How Cristiane’s approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds influence current relationships and emotions. Online sessions can help people recognise patterns of trust and closeness, and practise new ways of relating in everyday life.Client-centred counselling places the person at the heart of the process. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said, and follows the person’s lead to build understanding and self-acceptance. This approach suits concerns such as low self-esteem, grief, and multicultural difficulties.
Solution-focused work emphasises practical steps and small changes. It looks for what already works and builds on strengths to achieve clear goals. This can be useful for workplace issues, coping with life transitions, and short-term concerns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That planning may change as sessions progress and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or want more frequent, brief contact. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family life and daily routines.
