Psychologist Cristian A. Nica MSc, HCPC-Reg, AFBPsS,

"I started seeing Cristian after being recommended DBT by my psychiatrist. Within the first couple of sessions we started formulating a plan for my mental health journey, identifying focus areas and my particular vulnerabilities and the tools I could develop. Compared to other therapists I’ve worked with, I found Cristian’s methods to be most practical and it felt like we were actively working towards changing my thought processes to be less harmful and more rational. It was great doing homework outside of our sessions as it pushed me to practice mindfulness and the skills taught, to the point where it’s now almost second nature. I was also able to taper off my antidepressant medications, which I don’t think I could have done as effectively had I not also been seeing Cristian on a regular basis. Despite the challenges, I now feel better equipped to handle situations which would have typically been very triggering. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the service and help that Cristian has provided."

"Dr. Cristian was not only very thoughtful about each experience I brought to him as a client, he was additionally very thoughtful about the duration and timeframe needed to treat the issues I brought to him. I've had too many other therapists that are not overly worried about the endgame or ongoing strategy with a definite end time. Dr. Nica also had some insight I had never thought about which caused me to see things in a new light (he's the 3rd, and final, therapist I've had while in London), which sped up the duration of my therapy (We met for about 3 months in total). He balances listening with speaking almost seamlessly. He's the perfect mixture of being a sounding board, reflecting back what I'm saying and thoughtful guru offering earnest feedback. Bottom line, Dr. Nica really is concerned about getting you in and most importantly is a good enough therapist that he wants to stand you up, help you stand on your own two legs while preparing you to get back out to face the world in as little time as possible. You'll be much better equipped to do so, with his professional assistance. I appreciate him!"

"I came to Cristian after seeing several other therapists without much of a progress. After only a few sessions, I started to feel like there was a plan, which if working, could lead to a better place. After that, every session just made me believe more that the plan is indeed working. What I appreciate about Cristian is that he listens very carefully, but is also not afraid to push back and challenge your way of thinking, to such extent as to suggest that further sessions don't seem to be necessary, unless something changes in the future. I also appreciate that Cristian's approach is grounded in science and not assumptions and that every time he challenged my thinking, he was able to explain why and give further reading recommendations as well as homework. Overall, I really enjoyed working with Cristian and have learn something new from every session."
