Mihaela Oceanu

Mihaela Oceanu is a counsellor with 13 years of experience and BACP registration. She has practised in the United Kingdom for several years and has completed over 800 hours of direct client work while there. Her approach is steady and practical, aimed at helping people manage strong emotions such as anger, worry and grief.

She focuses on making therapy straightforward and useful. Sessions often centre on setting clear goals, planning small steps and tracking progress. Techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work are used to tackle unhelpful thoughts and to build more effective day-to-day habits.

Mihaela also brings client-centred listening to the room. That means she prioritises each person’s experience and adjusts the pace to what feels manageable. Mindfulness and hypnotherapy are other tools she may introduce when they fit someone’s needs.

People contact her for many concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting strain and trauma-related difficulties. She also supports those coping with life changes, grief, guilt and feelings of isolation.

Sessions are offered in English and Romanian, and she accepts international clients. Therapy typically follows a collaborative plan so people can make steady, practical changes in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Mihaela uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, panic attacks, depression and anger by breaking problems into manageable steps and testing new behaviours.

She also uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and following the person’s pace. This approach helps people feel heard and supports them to find their own solutions to relationship or life-change issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about what feels helpful and adapt techniques to match goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, with regular reviews to see what is working and what might need to change.

Confirm available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep continuity of care if they move or travel internationally.
