Livia Maria Nestianu , BACP

Livia Maria Nestianu trained originally in psychology before completing her counselling and psychotherapy education, bringing a foundation in psychological science to her therapeutic work. She works as an integrative counsellor, tailoring her approach to each person's needs by blending several established methods and theories. Her practice draws on person-centered principles, attachment theory, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and compassion-focused ideas to create a flexible framework that responds to individual differences.

Clients can expect sessions that provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space in which to explore thoughts, feelings, relationships, and life challenges. Livia aims to help people articulate their experiences, develop useful coping strategies, and recognise opportunities for personal growth while remaining attuned to each person’s pace and priorities. She holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional affiliation with a national body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

By adapting techniques and perspectives to fit the client rather than imposing a single method, she seeks to offer practical, compassionate care that supports the therapeutic process and long-term wellbeing.

Online delivery of therapeutic approaches and tailored care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful steps in life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where clients want to build a more values-driven life rather than eliminate every uncomfortable emotion.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that developed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current bonds and emotional responses. It can help people understand trust, closeness, and separation issues and improve relationship dynamics.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) explores the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and offers practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and coping with specific challenges through structured work and skill-building.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Livia works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions via video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible, allowing people to engage from different locations and schedules. These options support continuity of care and make it easier to maintain progress when life is busy or circumstances change.
