Ioana Mitrache is a counsellor with eight years of practice in the United Kingdom.
About Ioana
Ioana Mitrache is a counsellor with eight years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next steps. She aims to help clients find more stability and clearer direction in everyday life.
Her style is warm and relational. Sessions focus on exploring thoughts and feelings at a gentle pace. She listens for patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages and gently points them out so clients can choose differently.
Background and approach
Ioana draws on approaches that include attachment-focused work, client-centred listening, and cognitive behavioural techniques. She uses those methods to help with stress, anxiety, depression and difficulties such as grief, addiction and low self-esteem. Practical tools and short exercises are offered when they fit the client’s goals.
She also brings skills from dialectical approaches and existential ideas when people face big life questions or emotional overwhelm. These tools aim to build coping skills, emotional regulation and clearer decision making. Sessions can include talking, structured tasks and reflective discussion.
Ioana offers sessions in English and Romanian and accepts clients based in other countries. Appointments are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and techniques can be mixed over time so the work stays relevant to what the client wants to achieve.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer shorter, written exchanges or need more frequent, brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
