Adriana Panait, BACP

Adriana Panait offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or difficult life changes. She speaks English, French and Romanian and works with adults on issues such as relationships, family conflict, grief, low mood and self-esteem. Adriana meets people where they are and focuses on simple, useful steps to make day-to-day life more manageable.

Adriana uses a client-centred way of working that puts the person at the heart of sessions. That means she listens first and then helps clients set goals that matter to them. She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people manage intense emotions, reduce rumination, and reconnect with the present moment.

With four years of experience in the United Kingdom, Adriana has supported people through divorce and separation, immigration challenges, and career uncertainty. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image concerns and problems with intimacy or trust. Her background includes helping those coping with compassion fatigue and the strain of major life transitions.

Sessions are adapted to each person’s needs and preferences. Conversations are straightforward and respectful, and practical tools are offered alongside reflective discussion. Adriana aims to create an environment where people feel heard and can try out changes between sessions.

To begin, she suggests a short matching process and then scheduling that fits the person's timetable. Fees vary by location and availability and therapy is delivered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Adriana's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the work. The therapist listens without judgment, follows the person's priorities and helps them set steps they are willing to try. This approach is useful for people needing empathy, clarity and practical direction in difficult moments.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises and grounded practices to reduce rumination and lower reactivity. These techniques can help with anxiety, stress and managing strong emotions between sessions by building small daily habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Adriana will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or circumstances shift.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and a fuller sense of connection, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing to speaking or want support between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and to continue work when life becomes busy.
