Mihaela Oceanu is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings 13 years of experience and several years working in the United Kingdom to her practice. Mihaela offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship strain.

She uses clear, practical methods to help people set goals and take small steps forward. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual - reducing panic symptoms, managing grief, improving sleep, or building self-esteem.

Background and approach

Mihaela combines talking-based work with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques where useful. Her background includes many hours of client work and a range of clinical approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), client-centred work and hypnotherapy. This gives a mix of structured strategies and space to explore feelings.

She also pays attention to attachment, communication and the effects of trauma and abuse. Mihaela aims to be calm, patient and attentive during sessions. She helps people create plans they can actually use between meetings.

People who want practical tools alongside empathetic listening may find this style helpful. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and she accepts international clients. Appointments can be arranged by completing the short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgement. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and offers step-by-step strategies to reduce panic, anxiety and low mood. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to support changes in habits, confidence and stress responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be quicker check-ins and use less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter moments between commitments, and messaging supports ongoing reflection without scheduling a full session. These options aim to make therapy flexible and accessible for different routines and practical needs.
