Nicoleta Porojanu is a counsellor with 19 years of experience working across clinical, voluntary and personal settings in the United Kingdom. She brings a background that includes roles in palliative care, residential mental health services management, and personal psychotherapy practice. Nicoleta draws on her lived experience of childhood trauma and surviving serious illness to inform her compassionate approach.

She aims to help people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and big life changes.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical conversations that uncover patterns, improve communication and help people cope with emotional pain. The pace is set by the client and guided by what feels most useful in the moment. Her style blends client-centred listening with tools from cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness.

She also uses ideas from existential and Jungian approaches when they help make sense of a person’s story. This mix allows for both short-term coping strategies and deeper reflection on meaning and identity. Nicoleta often supports people dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment, codependency, body image concerns, chronic illness or caregiving stress, and the fallout of separation or domestic violence.

She also helps with issues like communication problems, control struggles, and family of origin wounds. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. Nicoleta is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability.

How therapeutic approaches come alive online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and creating a space where people can speak openly about what matters to them. It helps those who need acceptance, validation and a chance to find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and managing overwhelming reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs, adapting the mix of listening, practical exercises and reflective work as progress is made.

Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video is good for a more personal, face-to-face feel. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a simple way to check in. Live chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins, written reflection, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options increase flexibility and make ongoing work more manageable for people with different routines and responsibilities.
