About Mihaela

Mihaela Oceanu is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of experience. She practices in the United Kingdom and speaks English and Romanian. Her work focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and trauma-related issues in straightforward, practical ways.

Mihaela uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She commonly applies client-centred listening to help people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours.

Background and approach

She also offers mindfulness and solution-focused techniques for coping and short-term goal work, and hypnotherapy where appropriate. Sessions often begin with clear goal setting. Mihaela helps people define small, practical steps they can try between meetings.

She monitors progress with regular check-ins and adapts the plan as needed. The emphasis is on building skills that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. People come to her for a wide range of concerns including depression, panic, grief, low self-esteem and problems with intimacy.

There is also support for parenting stress, anger, communication problems and recovery after abuse. Her approach aims to make difficult issues easier to manage day to day. Mihaela accepts international clients and uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places attention on listening and understanding the person's experience. Online sessions allow that open conversation to continue across video or text, giving space for people to share what matters most and for the counsellor to reflect back what she hears.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. In remote sessions this often means setting simple homework tasks, practising skills between meetings and reviewing what worked in the following session to reduce anxiety or mood symptoms.

Mindfulness techniques are practical ways to manage stress and overwhelm. These can be taught in short exercises during a call or sent as brief guided practices to use between meetings to calm the body and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor and client discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that fit the person's needs. Plans are adjusted over time if something does not feel like a good fit, keeping the work collaborative.

Online sessions offer practical benefits such as flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls let people use visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or shorter weekly notes. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel while keeping the focus on real progress.
