About Ioana
Ioana Mitrache is a counsellor with eight years of practice based in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma. She also supports those facing relationship strains, grief, body image concerns and career-related uncertainty.
Her background includes registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Ioana draws on human-focused approaches that put the client's experience first. Sessions are conversational and practical, aimed at helping people make changes that matter day to day.
Background and approach
Ioana uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. When emotions run high, she offers skills adapted from dialectical approaches to help regain balance and reduce overwhelm.
People describe sessions as steady and respectful. The work may include talking through painful events, practising new ways of coping, and planning small steps towards different choices. The emphasis is on clarity, pacing and building useful tools rather than quick fixes.
Ioana offers work in English and Romanian and is available to international clients. Sessions can be held by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To start, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Online support
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they may try different methods and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Video calls work well for longer, face-to-face style meetings. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging can support quick reflections, ongoing coaching and brief exchanges between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
