Hello! I’m Mihaela, a BACP-registered counsellor and coach with extensive experience in private practice and mental health organizations.
I started working in the helping professions in 2015 after training as a Reiki practitioner. This initial step led me to complete two years of training in Hypnotherapy, followed by another two years in Counselling and Coaching and a year in Attachment Based Psychotherapy.
​Through this combination of professional training and experience, I’ve developed a solid understanding of the complex factors that influence our mental and emotional health. Central to my work is the belief that our relationship with ourselves plays a crucial role in the changes we seek in life—a principle that lies at the heart of my therapeutic approach.
Who do I work with?​
​
I work with adults (19+) from diverse backgrounds who face challenges like generalised anxiety, depression, life transitions, and perinatal related matters. A particular interest of mine is linked to grief, loss and relationships, as I believe everything is interconnected and we all experience loss during our lifetime. I work with English and Romanian speaking clients. It is important that you feel comfortable during our sessions.​​
​
How do I work?
​
I take a holistic approach to tailor sessions to your unique needs. If you are familiar with different therapeutic approaches, I draw from modalities like Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Family Constellations. Whether you are new to therapy or not, or wish to focus on past, present, or future matters, my professional background offers us flexibility in working towards your desired therapeutic outcomes. Feel free to ask me questions during an introductory call. I offer all new clients a free, up to 30-minute video call. You can find more information about my work on the FAQs, SST and COACHING pages.
