About Oana

Oana Chiru is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with 15 years of experience and accreditation from the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She offers both individual and couple or family counselling, providing options for short-term or longer-term work. Her practice is integrative, drawing on multiple therapeutic models and schools of thought to tailor her approach to each person's needs.

Oana places emphasis on creating a warm, supportive, non-judgmental environment where careful listening and thoughtful guidance help clients explore new perspectives. That exploration can reveal the roots of pain or confusion and also the personal resources that support change and growth. She works collaboratively to help people access those inner resources and to develop practical ways of coping.

Oana welcomes people who are seeking greater self-understanding, who want to improve their connections with others, or who are facing difficult times and need help finding a way forward. Her integrative method allows her to adapt to the unique concerns of each client while maintaining a steady focus on empathy and respect.

Integrative Approaches and Flexible Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and creating a non-judgmental space where the person leads the pace of work, supporting self-discovery and improved relationships. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-informed method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact, often used for trauma and abuse-related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Oana works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals when needed to identify which methods best match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a therapist while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow therapy to continue even when in-person meetings are not possible.
