About Cristina
Cristina Jimenez is an ACA counsellor and psychotherapist who works with adults to untangle stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She combines talking therapy with movement awareness to help people notice how feelings show up in the body and in everyday life. Her manner is warm and steady, aimed at building trust so clients feel able to talk honestly about hard things.
She introduces simple, practical ways to calm the nervous system and manage overwhelming moments. Sessions often include breath work, guided movement and plain-language discussion to help people make small changes that add up. Cristina pays attention to how past wounds show up now, including trauma and attachment patterns, and helps clients notice repeated behaviour that causes pain.
Cristina has five years of clinical experience and holds ACA accreditation, which she lists as a core professional credential. She supports people working through grief, self-esteem struggles, sexual and intimacy questions, and the emotional fallout from chronic illness or caregiving stress. Her background in dance and movement therapy gives her extra tools for working with somatic experience.
She is training at beginning level in Somatic Experiencing to expand her somatic skills further. Cristina welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and the LGBTIQ+ community. Sessions are conducted in English and follow a collaborative pace set by each client.
Before booking, users should confirm current session options and scheduling. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and book according to the therapist's availability.
How Cristina blends somatic and talk-based approaches online
Cristina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside somatic tools. One strand of her work focuses on body awareness and movement to help people notice how emotions appear as bodily sensations and reflexes; this helps with trauma, anxiety and stress regulation. Another strand is trauma-informed talking therapy that looks at attachment, past losses and relationship patterns in plain language to make behaviour changes more manageable.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cristina discusses clients' goals and preferences and adjusts methods as work progresses. She aims to help each person find a practical mix of conversation and somatic practice that fits their needs.
