About Christina
Christina Azaredo is an AASW social worker with ten years' experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps those adjusting to major life changes and people who want to understand persistent physical symptoms. Christina uses mind-body and somatic approaches in her work and draws on her lived experience with chronic pain to inform how she listens and responds.
She explains how the nervous system and emotions can keep symptoms going even after bodies have healed. In sessions Christina talks through what is happening in the body and in life. She works at a practical pace, helping people reduce fear around symptoms and notice small shifts in how they respond to stress and pain.
Christina uses a mix of mind-body techniques and conversational tools. She includes Pain Reprocessing Therapy ideas, somatic and embodied processing, parts-informed work, and elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. These methods are offered as ways to understand symptoms, to practise calming the nervous system, and to reorient towards values and meaningful action.
Her approach is relational and collaborative. The first one or two sessions focus on mapping the situation and deciding together whether the approach fits. Christina supports people who are navigating grief, identity changes after illness, social anxiety, obsessive thinking, body image concerns, and family of origin issues.
She works in Australia and runs sessions that use a subscription model which can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. To begin, people use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Christina integrates pain reprocessing ideas and somatic or embodied processing into her work. Pain Reprocessing Therapy looks at how the brain and nervous system can keep pain active and uses guided practices to reduce threat responses. Somatic and embodied processing focus on sensing the body, noticing physical patterns, and using gentle movement or breath to calm the nervous system.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help people clarify values and take small actions consistent with what matters to them. These approaches are described plainly in sessions and used as tools the person can try between meetings. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work and will be decided collaboratively based on the person’s goals and preferences.
Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling around daily life and the ability to join sessions from different locations. The original profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make shorter check-ins simpler and reduce travel time, which helps people fit therapy into busy routines.
