Who I am
Welcome to My Space of Healing, Self-Knowledge and Personal Transformation
Hello, and a very warm welcome.
I am a Transpersonal-Consciential Therapist and I devote my work to supporting people on their journey of self-knowledge, emotional well-being, inner transformation and personal development.
I believe that true transformation begins within us. Through greater self-awareness, self-acceptance and consciential development, we can reconnect with our inner resources, strengths and virtues, discovering new ways of relating to ourselves and to life.
My work integrates Transpersonal-Consciential Therapy, Transpersonal Coaching Psychology, Consciential Education for the Practice of the Virtues, and an integrative approach to human development.
I offer a safe, welcoming and non-judgemental space where you can slow down, understand what lies beyond the visible, and begin to create new possibilities for how you live your relationship with yourself, with others and with the world.
You are not a problem to be fixed. You are a person who deserves to be understood, supported and accompanied in your growth.
Professional Profile
About Cristina
Cristina brings over 30 years of professional experience and more than 27,000 hours of direct work with children in private family settings internationally, combining a solid academic and specialised background in human development, psychology and therapeutic approaches.
Her training includes Drama and Media Arts, complemented by specialisations in Transpersonal Coaching Psychology, Transpersonal-Consciential Therapy, Psychology of Virtues, Consciential Psychology, EFT, Matrix Reimprinting and Regression to Traumatic Memories.
Her path reflects an integrative perspective on human development, uniting psychological understanding, emotional well-being and transpersonal therapeutic approaches.
For over 25 years, Cristina worked directly with children, young people and families in private residences across several countries, following different stages of development and supporting the building of confidence, autonomy, emotional intelligence, positive relationships and personal skills.
This extensive field experience allowed her to develop a deep sensitivity to the individual needs of childhood, family dynamics and the creation of safe, respectful and welcoming environments conducive to each being's flourishing.
Today, Cristina brings that lived experience together with her therapeutic and coaching practice, supporting children, young people and adults in cultivating self-awareness, emotional balance, resilience and autonomy. Her practice is grounded in the conviction that every person holds the inherent potential to grow, evolve and reconnect with their own inner resources and strengths.
“I believe meaningful transformation begins when we feel safe enough to understand ourselves, held enough to accept where we are, and supported enough to discover where we can go.”
