About Livia
Livia Maria Nestianu is a counsellor who blends several practical approaches to help people manage depression, stress and life changes. She uses straightforward methods to create a calm, listening space where people can talk about what feels hard. Livia holds BACP accreditation, and she works in the United Kingdom offering sessions in English and Romanian.
Her background includes study in psychology and five years working in counselling. That mix informs a flexible style that adapts to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioural tools to identify unhelpful thinking and on client-centred listening to make people feel heard. Attachment-focused ideas help when relationships, abandonment or communication are causing ongoing strain. Somatic elements bring attention to how the body holds tension or trauma, and can be useful for those living with chronic pain or stress-related symptoms.
Livia also supports people dealing with anxiety, grief, workplace pressure, addiction concerns and identity issues such as LGBT-related stress. She helps people sort practical steps, set manageable goals and build new ways of coping when life feels overwhelming. Sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Livia works collaboratively to find approaches that fit a person’s situation and pace, and she explains methods in everyday language so people can use them between appointments.

Online support
Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and how early connections shape reactions now. This approach can be helpful for people who struggle with abandonment, communication problems or recurring relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and try different techniques together to see what fits a person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to immediate needs, whether the focus is mood, trauma, identity or coping skills.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video sessions let people use body language and tone, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, family or travel commitments.
