Psychologist Cristian Nica - Private practice — Psychologist in London, England

I started CBT with Cristian during a challenging transition into fatherhood. Despite having so much to be happy about, I was struggling with anxiety that was built up for years. His calm and structured approach made a significant difference. He provided me with practical tools to identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and helped me develop better communication and conflict-management skills. I learned to focus on what is within my control and how to approach difficult situations. I’m now in a much more balanced and positive place. Highly recommended!

Cristian is a wonderful psychologist. He makes it really easy to open up and always listens without judgment. I feel like he understands me and gives me honest, thoughtful feedback that actually helps me move forward. He has this great way of being kind and compassionate while also keeping things grounded and realistic. I’m very grateful for the difference he’s made in my life.

Dr. Cristian has been a true ray of light in my life. I will be forever grateful for his support during a difficult journey and for helping me see my surroundings with greater depth and awareness. His guidance has been characterized by both professionalism and genuine empathy — the kind that truly makes a difference.

Cristian helped me overcome severe trauma I experienced in my life using CBT. Extremely grateful for the support Cristian offered me with his experience dealing with grief and PTSD.

This was my first time seeing a therapist, and I honestly didn’t know what to expect. Dr. Cristian Nica made the process feel safe and approachable from the very beginning. He’s helped me explore things I didn’t even realise I had been holding in for so long—things that had started to weigh heavily on me without me fully understanding why. It’s been a truly eye-opening experience, and I’m grateful for the care and insight he’s offered. If you’re unsure about therapy or starting for the first time, I genuinely recommend Dr. Nica.

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. Why? Because they're concerned with filling their own calendars and charging you into perpetuity. Dr. Nica was more worried about getting me in, and then getting me out, more productive and better off mentally than I was before arriving. Too many therapists are not interested in this and is one of the multiple factors that set him apart from others. He stated a suitable timeframe during our first session, which sets a goal and subsequent progress for treatment. Neither was he overly concerned if we met each week due to what he said were issues that could be spoken about every 2-3 weeks. I took the same issues to former therapists and they insisted I come each week whereas he didn't. Which tells me he has my well being in mind, not his. 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. Whereas in other therapy sessions with other therapists, they would work with pregnant pauses and little insight which just prompted me to speak more frequently and do more of the heavy lifting. 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've felt my life and every ingredient that came along has been too complex to confront and understand, from what honeslty felt like day one of opening my eyes at birth. Sounds dramatic, but highly relevant to how, with Cristian's help, I'm genuinely conquering my own self understanding and finding locked away beliefs and powers of positivity I knew I had, but couldn’t reach. Strangely, as I began talking to Cristian while suffering severe panic attacks, some rather large, life changing events happened one after the other, on top of the main reason our sessions began, and having him as an anchor of perspective and insight into your own strength, has been invaluable. He has handled the extra load life seemed to bring upon me, with the calmness and practicality I very much needed. He listens, understands and guides you back to your own path and your own solutions in a way that you truly feel can last. I talk a lot (as is evident here) but how Cristian goes beyond the stereotype of what many, including me, presumed psychology is limited to, is exactly what I needed at exactly the right moment. Cannot recommend highly enough.

In my adolescence I have been seen by countless therapists, and none of them were able to understand me and my needs the way Cristian has. He has helped me through the most difficult few years of my life, when I was at my lowest point, and didn’t see any way out of my OCD. He was able to put things into a completely different perspective, and help me find the strength to get better. It has not been an easy or straightforward journey, but Cristian has been there for me at every step of the way. I cannot thank him enough for this. Without his selflessness, calm demeanour and insight I don’t know where I would be, quite honestly. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone struggling with mental health issues, but particularly OCD.

I wholeheartedly recommend Cristian to anyone in need of professional psychological support. His exceptional skills and highly compassionate nature make him an outstanding psychologist. With Cristian's guidance, my family has experienced transformative changes, and we are grateful for his unwavering support on our path to well-being.

Cristian is an excellent psychologist. I have been with him for 2.5 years, and he has helped me work through some of the hardest moments in my life. He is attentive, trustworthy, and professional. His approach is the perfect balance rationality and empathy. He is a kind and understanding voice of reason for me, and I am grateful for how his input has positively enriched my life.
