About Nicoleta
Nicoleta Porojanu is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 19 years of experience in mental health and wellbeing. She combines practical experience from hospitals, residential services and independent practice to support people through difficult life events. Nicoleta draws on a range of therapeutic ways of working and aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable.
She has worked as a clinical psychologist in a palliative care hospital and managed residential and supported living mental health services.
Background and approach
That background informs how she supports people facing illness, caregiving strain and chronic health challenges. She also brings experience from psychotherapy and counselling in independent practice to help with relationship and family concerns. Nicoleta is open about surviving childhood trauma and Triple Negative Breast Cancer, and this personal experience shapes her focus on trauma, grief and major life changes.
She offers calm, compassionate support when people are coping with loss, abuse, or the long-term effects of past wounds. Her direct experience helps her understand what prolonged hardship can feel like. Her approach blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural, existential, Jungian and mindfulness ideas.
That means sessions can involve talking through feelings, noticing unhelpful patterns, and learning small practical strategies to cope day to day. She aims to help people repair important relationships and build more satisfying day-to-day lives. Nicoleta also developed a mental health charity and hosts a podcast about wellbeing.
She brings that learning into sessions to help people who want clearer direction, more resilience, and a greater sense of fulfilment.

Online support
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. The process is collaborative and can adapt as needs change over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes therapy flexible. Video sessions let people follow visual cues and feel more like face-to-face meetings. Phone calls can work when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Messaging and live chat suit short check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer not to use audio or video. These options help make therapy fit around caregiving, work and health demands.
