Ioana Mitrache , BACP

Ioana Mitrache is an integrative holistic counsellor with eight years of clinical experience who helps people find clarity, stability, and renewed purpose. She blends relational compassion with evidence-based techniques to tailor therapeutic work to each person - whether individuals, couples, or groups - and guides clients through emotional exploration at a comfortable pace.

Her practice uses a systemic holistic method and psychogenealogy to identify recurring patterns and the roots of difficult feelings, so clients can work toward sustainable change. Ioana draws on approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, and Existential Therapy to address issues including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, depression, relationship and family challenges, grief, and intimacy-related difficulties.

She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds, sexualities, genders, religions, ages, cultures, and abilities, and works with both local and international clients. Ioana holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and offers a supportive, respectful environment where people are treated with understanding and dignity. Her aim is to help clients uncover underlying causes of distress, build practical coping tools, and strengthen connections with themselves and others so they can make empowered choices and move toward greater wellbeing.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Ioana frequently uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust - this approach can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathic stance that helps people feel heard and build self-awareness and self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key tool she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, mood, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Ioana works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive to what the client wants to achieve.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, time zone differences, and those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of support, access licensed professionals from different locations, and engage in therapy in ways that suit individual comfort and practical needs.
