Ioana Mitrache

Ioana Mitrache is a counsellor with eight years of practical experience. She works from the United Kingdom and speaks English and Romanian. Ioana holds BACP registration, and she frames sessions around each person’s needs and goals.

Her style is warm and relational. Sessions focus on clear, everyday change rather than jargon. She listens for patterns in relationships, thoughts and behaviour and helps people spot what keeps them stuck. The aim is more choice and steadier coping when life gets difficult.

Ioana uses a mix of well-known approaches to guide work on problems such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, low self-esteem, depression and anger. She also supports people dealing with grief, career shifts, ADHD and intimacy concerns. Her wider focus includes matters like adoption and foster care, body image, caregiver stress and communication problems.

In practice she encourages people to bring their own experience into the room. Conversations are paced to the person, with practical steps offered between meetings when useful. Clients leave with tools to manage symptoms and clearer ways to try different behaviours.

For someone who wants a collaborative, supportive counsellor, Ioana aims to build a steady working relationship. Prospective clients can expect straightforward talk, compassionate listening and an emphasis on creating realistic changes that fit everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect how people feel and react today. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and feel safer making different choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods match their needs and goals. Over a few sessions she will review what helps and adjust the plan together.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and better fit with a busy life. Because specific session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the available online options before booking. Talking from a quieter space can make sessions shorter when needed, or allow a mid-day check-in without travel. Working online can also let people access a therapist who speaks their language or has relevant experience even if they live elsewhere.
