Cristina is one of the best people I know. She is completely in my corner while still challenging me to find new ways to think about myself. Her approach to therapy is based in a deep understanding of people and our quirks. So grateful to have found her!

Talking with Cristina makes me feel safe but most importantly truly heard! She always remembers the details of my multitude of stories and never lets a session go to waste. I always leave the sessions feeling recharged and with very constructive points to think about in the week ahead. I would truly recommend her to anyone that wants to start this journey!

Cristina Lorefice is a great therapist and coach. She is the very first therapist I liked and felt understood and felt handled the way I wanted therapy to be done. I really like her approach of creating practices that can be implemented in daily life to reach my potential, and sometimes during a session, and just the way she encourages me when I had small successes. I like how she is able to summarise what I tell her and give me an analysis with a different viewpoint that gives me new perspectives. I often laughed more in a session than in my real life and that left me happy and encouraged to go about my daily tasks and life. During my first 4- months-long sessions with Cristina she had helped me a lot to gain self-confidence and self-love, and raise my vibration. I had gained so much and felt like I was a different person and could take on anything. I felt strong and I felt quite happy on a daily basis.
Whenever I need therapeutic help, I know I can go back to Cristina and consult her about my problems. She always gives good insight and new perspectives and I cherish her honesty and professionality.

So glad I found Christina, she’s a very skilled therapist and really gives me the feeling that she’s there for me. I feel like I can trust her and she doesn’t judge me at all. I recommend 10/10 :)

Christina is a very warm-hearted therapist. Even though it is just a video call I feel the sessions are held in a good atmosphere and I feel welcome and safe. Christina always gives me Room to bring up topics myself but also points out areas that she feels should be looked at which I greatly appreciate. She is flexible in her approach from going deeper and looking at root causes to coaching and preparing the client for upcoming difficult situations.
All in all I feel she helps my a lot in understanding and learning about myself and learning how to handle myself, my feelings and difficult situations. I am deeply grateful to be working with her.
