Ioana Mitrache, BACP

Ioana Mitrache begins each working relationship by drawing on eight years of clinical practice to help people find clarity and steadiness. She holds BACP accreditation and works from the United Kingdom, offering sessions in English and Romanian. Her style is warm and interpersonal with a focus on practical, manageable steps.

Ioana uses a blend of approaches that match what a person brings to sessions. She pays attention to attachment patterns, current thinking and behaviour, and emotional regulation. That mix can be useful for anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns.

In conversation she keeps things simple and goal-oriented. People can expect to talk about current difficulties, notice how their past influences relationships, and practise new skills between meetings. Sessions aim to replace stuck thinking and unhelpful habits with clearer choices and more flexible responses.

Ioana also works with issues such as trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, sexual and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strains and career change. Additional areas of focus include neurodiversity, attachment difficulties, body image and care-related stress. She accommodates a broad range of personal concerns and identities.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. International clients are accepted. To begin, choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Ioana’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they repeat certain behaviours and improve how they relate to others. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance, giving people space to speak and be heard while they find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Ioana will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That might mean starting with a client-centred conversation, adding CBT tasks between sessions, or exploring attachment themes over several meetings.

Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact matters. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or helpful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, reflective writing or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or different time zones while still using the chosen therapeutic approaches.
