About Ioana

Ioana Mitrache is a counsellor with eight years of clinical experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP recognition, and speaks English and Romanian. Ioana offers a clear, steady presence for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma and related concerns.

Her sessions focus on building a trusting relationship first. She uses a client-centred stance to listen without judgment and to help people name what matters most to them.

Background and approach

This gives room to understand patterns that repeat in relationships, work and self-image. Ioana draws on trauma-focused approaches when past hurt continues to affect everyday life. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape current reactions and relationships.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy tools are used to teach practical coping skills and manage strong emotions. Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person. Ioana helps clients develop new ways of handling triggers, improve communication, and rebuild confidence.

She can also support people with specific concerns such as grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and career stress. Sessions are offered in several formats including video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. International clients can be seen and practical steps for starting therapy are provided through the service portal.

Ways of working Ioana names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How trauma-aware and attachment-informed work fits online

Ioana uses trauma-focused approaches to help people address the lingering effects of past harm. This often involves gently processing difficult memories and learning ways to reduce day-to-day triggers. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people form healthier ways of relating. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that match those aims. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the plan reflects what works for the client. Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video lets people use visual cues and feel more like an in-person meeting. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions, or a way to communicate when a longer appointment is difficult to schedule. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, parenting or travel while keeping the focus on practical progress.
