Cristiane Cabrera, BACP

Cristiane Cabrera is a transpersonal arts counselor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience supporting both adults and children through periods of change, loss, and emotional overwhelm. She is registered with the BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and a commitment to professional standards and ethical practice. Her work is grounded in a person-centered approach that seeks to understand each client as a whole person and to offer support that is thoughtful, respectful, and tailored to individual needs.

Her style is gentle, reflective, and practical, providing a calm environment where clients do not need to have all the answers or know where to begin. Sessions are paced with care and shaped by what feels most helpful to the client. When talking feels difficult, she may invite creative or art-based methods as an optional way to explore emotions, while many clients choose to work through conversation alone.

Cristiane specialises in 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 aims to create a flexible, affirming, and non-judgmental space. The first session is a gentle introduction to what has been happening, what the client hopes to gain from counselling, and whether working together feels like a good fit.

Approaches and Online Support with a Compassionate Focus

Cristiane integrates client-centered therapy, which centres the client’s own experience and priorities and helps people build self-understanding, trust, and autonomy in the therapeutic relationship. This approach is helpful for those seeking empathetic, non-directive support for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, or life transitions.

She also uses attachment-based therapy to explore patterns of connection and security in relationships. This work can support clients coping with abandonment, family of origin issues, and challenges in forming or maintaining close bonds by examining how early relationships shape current responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Cristiane works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She invites clients to try different methods and adapts pace and techniques as the relationship develops.

Online therapy with Cristiane is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and geographical locations. These options make it easier for clients to access regular support, continue work through life changes, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
