Ioana Mitrache brings eight years of counselling experience to her work in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and offers sessions in English and Romanian. Ioana aims to help people find clarity and steadiness when life feels overwhelming.

She uses a relational, client-centred style that focuses on the person's experience in the moment. Ioana listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try different ways of responding.

Background and approach

Sessions move at a pace set by the person in therapy. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career pressures and major life changes.

Additional focuses include ADHD, attachment issues, body image and communication problems. Ioana draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural ideas and dialectical behaviour strategies alongside existential and client-centred perspectives. She adapts methods to the goals a person brings to sessions rather than following one fixed model.

The aim is practical change as well as better self-understanding. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, and international clients can be supported. Ioana works collaboratively to identify next steps, build coping skills and reduce overwhelming emotions.

Her aim is to help people feel more able to make decisions that suit their values and life circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on the ways early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. It helps people recognise patterns in their close connections and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. It teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviours with short exercises you can practise between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ioana will discuss options and adapt techniques to a person’s goals, preferences and life situation. This process is collaborative and may change as needs evolve.

Online formats suit different tasks and days. Video calls let the therapist and client see non-verbal cues, which helps when working on relationship patterns and emotional responses. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier for a shorter check-in or when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for step-by-step coaching, tracking progress, or keeping in touch between longer sessions. These options give flexibility so people can fit therapy around work, travel or family commitments.
