Roxana Trelia, BACP

Roxana Trelia welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, trauma or depression. She also helps people dealing with anger and the impact of abuse. Roxana writes in a warm, straightforward way and aims to make the first steps feel manageable.

Roxana trained in Romania and gained a Psychology degree in 2007. She moved to the United Kingdom in 2009 and completed an integrative counselling qualification in 2015. Roxana has around ten years of experience working across mental health settings, schools and hospital psychiatric units, and she has provided support in private practice.

Her experience includes supporting people through bereavement and loss, including loss linked to illness and pregnancy, and helping those affected by workplace stress and difficult relationships. She has worked with displaced people finding identity in a new country and with women who have experienced domestic violence.

In sessions she looks for patterns of behaviour that cause pain and links between thoughts, feelings and actions. She places emphasis on setting healthy boundaries and practical goals to rebuild confidence. Roxana aims to offer honest, accepting support while helping people develop greater self-awareness.

She speaks English and Romanian and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, described as BACP. For people ready to begin, she asks that they use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Roxana practices evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to link thoughts, feelings and behaviours. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful behaviour patterns and then try small, practical changes to break those cycles; this can be useful for anxiety, stress and anger. She also focuses on rebuilding self-esteem through goal-setting and boundary work, which helps people who have experienced low confidence, relationship strain or abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Roxana will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods so they fit the client's situation. This collaborative process means techniques are chosen and adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers a range of flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people read facial expressions and use a face-to-face style of conversation. Phone sessions work well when someone prefers not to be on camera or has limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, written check-ins that can fit around work or family routines. These options make it easier to arrange regular sessions and keep momentum in therapy.
