About Nicoleta
Nicoleta Porojanu is a counsellor with 19 years of experience in mental health and wellbeing. She works from the United Kingdom and draws on a long career that includes clinical, voluntary and personal sector roles. She describes a compassionate, down-to-earth style and focuses on helping people find steadiness after hard events.
Her background includes work in palliative care as a clinical psychologist, management of residential and supported living mental health services, and practice as a psychotherapist and counsellor.
Background and approach
Those roles inform a broad view of how emotional, social and physical problems interact. She has also lived through significant personal challenges, which shape her understanding of trauma and serious illness. Nicoleta helps people who are struggling with relationships, family matters, trauma and abuse, grief and major life changes.
She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, communication problems, chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress and body image difficulties. Practical worries such as divorce, separation and commitment issues are within her remit. Her work blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural tools, existential and Jungian perspectives, and trauma-focused ideas.
Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to name, notice patterns and try new ways of coping. She uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing alongside talking therapies when helpful. Those who choose her can expect a collaborative approach that balances emotional support with clear steps for change.
Nicoleta also shares learning through a podcast and charity work, and she accepts clients from outside the UK who prefer online formats.

How her approaches work online
Nicoleta uses trauma-focused work to help people name and process difficult memories and reactions, aiming to reduce overwhelm and improve daily coping. Trauma-focused therapy can be useful for people affected by past abuse, loss or serious illness.She also draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening closely, reflecting back what matters and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and to try small, practical changes that reduce anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest ways of combining these methods. This collaborative exploration helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant to your situation.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing support and for people who prefer writing over talking. These options offer flexibility and can help sustain continuity of care across locations.
