Livia Maria Nestianu , BACP

Livia Maria Nestianu brings a foundation in psychology to her practice as an integrative counsellor, tailoring her approach to the uniqueness of each person she works with. She blends established methods such as person-centered therapy, attachment theory, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and compassion-focused techniques to create a flexible framework that fits individual needs and goals.

Sessions with Livia focus on creating a supportive environment where clients can explore emotions, patterns and relationships at their own pace. She works collaboratively to identify practical ways to cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship and family difficulties, career transitions and other life challenges, while also addressing areas like grief, self-esteem and addictions when they arise.

Livia is affiliated with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Her style emphasizes empathy, careful listening and adapting therapeutic tools to promote personal growth and meaningful change across a range of concerns.

Approaches that guide online work

Livia draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to support clients in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, and it focuses on identifying personal values to guide meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotion, and it is often helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy issues and experiences of abandonment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Livia works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques over time as the work develops.

Online therapy with Livia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling around work, family and other commitments, and they make it easier for clients to maintain continuity of care from different locations while working toward their therapeutic goals.
