About Cristiane
Cristiane Cabrera brings nine years of counselling experience to people facing change, loss, or emotional overwhelm. She offers a calm, supportive space where clients can describe what’s happening and decide together what feels most useful. Sessions move at a careful pace and are shaped by each person’s needs.
Working from a person-centred stance, Cristiane takes time to understand the whole person rather than rushing to a fix. She uses reflective conversation and practical strategies to help people manage stress, grief, depression, anger and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Parenting concerns and relationship difficulties are also common topics she helps people talk through. When words are hard, she may invite creative or art-based activities as an option. These are offered gently and never required; many people prefer to work through conversation alone.
Cristiane also describes her style as gentle and practical, aiming to make sessions feel manageable even when issues seem overwhelming. Her background includes supporting neurodiversity and multicultural concerns, and she aims to offer an affirming, non-judgemental environment. She has particular experience with abandonment, isolation, workplace issues, and family of origin problems, alongside addiction and trauma-related difficulties.
The first meeting is an introduction where people can share what they are facing and what they hope to get from counselling. Cristiane uses that conversation to agree goals and a way of working that fits each person’s life and preferences.

Approaches that suit online support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current connections. Online work can help identify patterns in relationships and develop safer ways of relating to others. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person’s own experience and pace; the counsellor follows the person’s lead, offering empathy and acceptance rather than direction. This approach is useful for people who need a listening, non-judgemental space. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and identifying what already works in someone’s life; it can be helpful for addressing immediate challenges like parenting stress or coping with change.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss different ways of working in early sessions and agree a plan together. That means a collaborative review of goals, preferences and what feels most useful, with flexibility to try different methods over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact helps, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit short check-ins or days when typing feels simpler. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel, and to choose the format that best supports each step in the therapeutic process.
