About Livia
Livia Maria Nestianu uses an integrative counselling style that mixes practical exercises with reflective conversation. She brings five years of experience and a BACP accreditation to her work. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian.
Livia aims to create a calm space so people can talk about what matters most to them. Livia trained first in psychology before qualifying in counselling. That background shapes a straightforward approach that combines evidence-based methods with attention to relationships and physical responses.
Background and approach
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas when these suit a persons needs. In sessions she focuses on day-to-day coping, anxiety and stress, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
People also turn to her for support with mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar, for help with substance use, and for issues around identity and intimacy. Additional areas she sees include grief, career changes, eating concerns, ADHD and caregiver stress. Her way of working is person-centred and practical.
Conversations are used to notice patterns and try small experiments between sessions. She also uses somatic techniques when bodily reactions are part of the problem. Livia works remotely with clients in the United Kingdom.
She explains the BACP credential as membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That registration reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing learning.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Livia will discuss your goals and try different methods to see what feels useful. This is a collaborative process where the plan can change as needs and preferences become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video suits longer, reflective sessions while phone calls often work well for check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can be used for shorter reflections or when someone prefers writing instead of speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, parenting and travel.
