About Ioana
Ioana Mitrache brings eight years of counselling practice to people seeking clearer direction and steadier emotional footing. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and works in the United Kingdom offering sessions in English and Romanian. Her style is relational and compassionate.
She listens first and then helps clients notice patterns that affect day-to-day life. Sessions aim to be practical and paced to the person’s needs rather than rushed or overly technical.
Background and approach
Ioana uses a mix of client-centred approaches and attachment-informed thinking to strengthen relationships with self and others. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to tackle unhelpful thoughts and on dialectical strategies for emotion regulation when needed. This blend is adapted to each person's goals.
People come for many reasons such as stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, low self-esteem, and sleep or eating concerns. Additional focuses include ADHD, parenting stress, carer strain, adoption and foster care matters, and body image worries. Sessions are available online and arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
International clients may take part, and practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those ready to begin are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behaviour; online sessions use this to help people notice patterns in their close relationships and develop new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the centre and offers a listening, non-judgemental space where clients lead the pace and topics of discussion. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process and adaptations are made as progress and needs become clearer.
Online work offers practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that is helpful. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit those who prefer writing, need flexibility around work, or want to reflect between messages. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the approaches above to work on emotional regulation, relationship patterns and everyday coping.
