Michaela Grecu, NCPS

Michaela Grecu is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She holds NCPS as a credential. Michaela offers a calm, down-to-earth approach and works collaboratively with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward.

She keeps sessions practical and straightforward. Michaela listens first, then helps people notice the thoughts and behaviours that get in the way. She uses techniques from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to help people build clearer habits and calmer thinking.

Michaela has experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and addiction-related problems. Career worries, low self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties are within her focus too.

Her work pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, communication and commitment problems, and feelings of isolation. She also addresses substance misuse, hoarding, impulsivity and control difficulties in ways that aim for steady, manageable change.

Sessions are offered in English and Romanian. Michaela adapts the length and pace to each person, offering short or longer-term work depending on what is helpful. The emphasis is on practical steps and clearer choices, rather than jargon or long theory explanations.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and follows the client’s pace to build trust and clearer self-understanding. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and a calm space to talk.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical tasks. It offers clear tools for anxiety, low mood, sleep and eating problems, and for changing patterns that hold people back.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and reactivity. It can be used alongside other techniques to help manage stress and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help clients pinpoint which methods match their goals and preferences. Decisions are made together, and the plan can change as progress is made.

Online therapy lets people fit sessions around life more easily. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different places, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and text or live chat can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family and travel.
