Ioana Mitrache , BACP

Ioana Mitrache is a relational, integrative counsellor who supports people seeking greater clarity, stability, and purpose in their lives. She offers individual, couples, and group work, providing a calm and respectful environment where people can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences at a pace that feels right for them.

Her practice combines compassionate listening with evidence-based methods, shaped by a systemic holistic approach and the use of psychogenealogy to uncover recurring family and relational patterns. Interventions are tailored to each person so that therapy addresses the practical barriers and emotional blockages that limit wellbeing.

Ioana welcomes people from a wide range of backgrounds, genders, sexualities, cultures, religions, ages, and abilities. In sessions she emphasizes understanding, acceptance, and collaboration, helping clients develop tools, confidence, and new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Rather than aiming to "fix" someone, she sees therapy as a shared process in which each person’s own wisdom is central. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Connection

Ioana draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. This approach helps people understand fears of abandonment, trust issues, and difficulties forming close connections, and supports the development of more secure ways of relating.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person's own experience by offering empathic listening and nonjudgmental support. This method helps people build self-awareness, self-worth, and the confidence to make choices that align with their values.

In addition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, and stress. CBT provides structured tools that can be practised between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ioana works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as those needs evolve.

Online therapy with Ioana offers flexibility in how people connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access consistent support around work, family, or geographic constraints. Working remotely can help maintain continuity of care and allow sessions to fit more naturally into everyday life with licensed professionals and therapists providing tailored guidance.
