Cristina is also a beginning-level student in Somatic Experiencing Professional Training, which informs how she approaches bodily responses to stress.
Cristina is comfortable discussing sexuality and intimacy and welcomes people from diverse backgrounds, including the LGBTIQ+ community.

How therapeutic approaches and online care can work together
Somatic-informed counselling pays attention to the body’s reactions as well as thoughts and emotions. This approach uses gentle movement and awareness to notice where tension or grief is stored, and can be helpful for trauma, anxiety and stress-related symptoms.Talk-based evidence-informed techniques focus on clear, practical conversation about feelings, relationships and coping strategies. These approaches aim to build skills for managing mood, communication and everyday stressors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cristina will collaborate with each person to decide whether more somatic work, more conversation, or a mix of both will best meet their goals. She tailors sessions to the client’s needs, preferences and life demands rather than using one fixed method.
The biography did not specify supported session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be useful when quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth connections are preferable, but confirm the exact arrangements and format during the scheduling step.
