At TLC rehab, our team is at the heart of everything we do. Each member plays a vital role in creating a safe, healing, and non-judgemental space for our residents. That’s why we’re proud to introduce one of our newest counsellors, Cristina – a thoughtful, intuitive professional who brings warmth, calm, and clinical skill to the TLC experience.
Hear directly from Cristina about her work and what recovery means to her.
A Trauma-Informed Approach Rooted in Empathy
Cristina is a qualified counsellor with a background in trauma-informed care. She works from the understanding that addiction is often rooted in past pain, unmet needs and unresolved experiences. Her approach blends traditional psychotherapy with deep listening, helping clients feel heard, understood and supported – perhaps for the first time in a long time.
She joins our non 12-step rehab programme, working closely with residents in 1:1 sessions and therapeutic groups. Her sessions are known for being emotionally safe and grounded, yet gently challenging, encouraging people to open up in ways that lead to real breakthroughs.
Cristina on Recovery: “It’s about connection, not control”
When asked what drew her to work in addiction recovery, Cristina shared:
“So many people who come to rehab feel like they’ve been defined by their worst moments. My role is to remind them they are more than their addiction. Recovery isn’t just about stopping – it’s about reconnecting. With yourself, with your story, and with a sense of possibility.”
Part of a Truly Life Changing Team
Cristina is already making a powerful impact at TLC – not just with our clients, but with our wider team. Her presence in daily reflections, her thoughtful contributions during team case reviews, and her gentle humour during wellness walks all contribute to the kind of holistic, relational care we value so deeply.
We’re so pleased to welcome her into the TLC family and can’t wait for you to get to know her better.
If you’re thinking about starting your recovery journey, or helping someone else begin theirs, the people behind the programme matter. At TLC rehab in London, we’re proud to offer expert, non-judgemental support from a team that genuinely cares.
