Ioana Mitrache , BACP

Ioana Mitrache is an experienced integrative holistic counsellor who supports individuals, couples, and groups in finding greater clarity, stability, and purpose. She blends relational warmth with evidence-based techniques to create a flexible, person-centered process that is tailored to each client’s situation. Drawing on systemic holistic methods and psychogenealogy, she helps clients uncover recurring family patterns and the roots of emotional difficulties so they can move past obstacles and build healthier ways of relating.

Ioana welcomes people from all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, religions, abilities, cultures, ethnicities, and ages, and she works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, ADHD, and more. In sessions clients can expect a respectful, compassionate stance that values their experience and supports practical change. She emphasizes collaboration, curiosity, and honest reflection while offering tools to reduce unhelpful patterns and strengthen decision making.

Ioana is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects her commitment to professional standards. Her role is to walk alongside clients rather than to fix them, helping them access their own wisdom and move toward more meaningful connection and wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Ioana uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. This approach can be helpful for people struggling with intimacy, abandonment, attachment issues, or relationship instability, as it focuses on building safer, more secure ways of relating.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes the client’s own experience and fosters growth through empathy, genuine listening, and acceptance. This approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem work, and decisions about life changes by creating space for the client’s perspective to guide the process.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Ioana collaborates with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and respectful of the client’s pace.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals without travel. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow therapy to fit around work and family life, and help people maintain continuity of care when circumstances change.
