Lorena Borbinceane, NCPS

Lorena Borbinceane uses an integrative approach that centres on the person. She combines methods to suit each individual and meets people where they are. Lorena speaks English and Romanian and has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her practice emphasises a non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly.

She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports those coping with life changes, parenting challenges, relationship difficulties and intimacy issues. Addictions, anger, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue are other areas she addresses.

Lorena draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She uses client-centred listening to help people notice their own strengths. Cognitive behavioural techniques are included to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

For trauma-related concerns she integrates approaches such as EMDR and hypnotherapy when appropriate. The aim is to reduce distress and help people build practical ways of coping day to day. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs.

Her background includes work across several organisations and with varied presenting issues. That experience informs a flexible style that focuses on clarity and emotional relief. To start, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people to the right option and schedule.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-based work looks at patterns that started in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections and self-understanding. Online sessions can use this approach to notice relational habits and practice new ways of relating in day-to-day life.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building on a person's own strengths. In remote sessions the counsellor offers reflective conversation and gentle guidance so people can become clearer about what they want and how to move forward.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and replaces them with more useful alternatives. Over video or phone the therapist can guide practical exercises, homework and brief behavioural experiments between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and collaborate on what feels most helpful based on your goals and preferences. That way methods can be adjusted as you make progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets you see facial cues and do longer sessions. Phone may be quicker when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates, written reflection or when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and day-to-day demands.
