Background and approach

Her practice covers intimacy-related concerns, parenting strains, anger and coping with life changes including separation and divorce. Her approach combines client-centred listening with practical techniques. She uses cognitive behavioural strategies to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Mindfulness and hypnotherapy techniques are offered to reduce anxiety and improve emotional regulation where appropriate. Mihaela helps people set clear goals and plan steps to reach them. She monitors progress in regular sessions and adapts the plan as needed.

Her work also addresses attachment issues, communication problems, feelings of guilt and shame, isolation and rebuilding self-worth. People who are looking for calm, steady support may find her style helpful. She aims to be patient and attentive, and to offer straightforward tools people can use day to day.

International clients can be seen online, with session formats that include video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in the room and on building a supportive, non-judgemental relationship. It involves listening closely and helping people find their own solutions, which can work well over video or phone for conversational support.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is goal-focused and often uses homework between sessions, a format that adapts easily to online appointments and messaging tools.

Mindfulness techniques help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without becoming overwhelmed. These practices can be guided in a session and then practised between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods based on a person's needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.

Online work offers flexibility for people with busy lives or who live far from services. Video calls allow for conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can combine these formats to fit daily routines and practical constraints.
