Mihaela Oceanu

Mihaela Oceanu is a counsellor with a Master of Arts and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings 13 years of experience to her practice, including several years working in the United Kingdom and over 800 hours of direct client work here. She speaks English and Romanian and works with a wide range of emotional and life challenges.

Her approach is personal and straightforward. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small, practical steps that can make a difference. Mihaela uses familiar methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred work to help people understand patterns and try new ways of coping.

Clients often come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, panic attacks, sleep problems and feelings of isolation or low self-worth. Divorce and separation is listed among her additional focus areas.

In sessions she helps people set clear goals and plans. Progress is checked in regular meetings and adjustments are made as needed. Mihaela describes herself as calm, patient and attentive, and she aims to treat everyone with respect and compassion.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability. Costs vary by location and the service uses a cancellable subscription model.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps people find their own solutions. This can help with stress, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises and practical tools to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, panic attacks and depression.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple attention exercises to reduce rumination and improve sleep and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods suit the person's needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work makes it easier to fit sessions around family or work commitments, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and can reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques like CBT and Client-Centred listening to an online setting to keep sessions practical and focused on everyday change.
