Ioana Mitrache, BACP

Ioana Mitrache is a counsellor with eight years of experience helping people find more clarity and purpose. She works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma, addictions and struggles with self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and she is based in the United Kingdom.

Her style is relational and compassionate. She listens carefully to each person and adapts her approach to fit their needs. In practice that can mean looking at how past attachments shape current reactions, using client-centred conversations to uncover goals, or applying practical techniques to manage mood and behaviour.

Ioana blends several evidence-informed methods into a flexible, holistic way of working. She draws on attachment-focused ideas to map patterns in relationships and uses cognitive behavioural tools for tackling unhelpful thoughts and habits. Dialectical ideas support emotional regulation when stress or anger feels overwhelming.

People come to her for many issues such as grief, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, career changes, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also supports those exploring identity, sexuality and kink-related questions without judgement.

Practical change is a focus in sessions. Clients can expect to reflect on where problems started, try new skills between meetings, and set small, manageable goals. The counselling process is collaborative – the counsellor and client work together to find what helps most.

How Ioana’s approaches translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way and how to form firmer connections with themselves and others. Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and collaboration. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and feedback to help people clarify goals and make choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours through specific exercises and small experiments between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss different methods with each person and choose what fits their needs and preferences. This collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as goals change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow quicker scheduling around work or family commitments, and make it simpler to keep regular sessions.
