Nicoleta Porojanu, BACP

Nicoleta Porojanu is a counsellor with BACP registration and 19 years of experience in mental health and wellbeing. She works in the United Kingdom and draws on long practice across clinical, voluntary and private settings. Nicoleta’s background includes work in palliative care, residential and supported living mental health services, and private psychotherapy. She speaks English and accepts international clients.

Her style is compassionate and straightforward. Sessions focus on understanding what has happened and on practical ways to cope. She uses a mix of talking, reflection and tailored exercises rather than a single method. The aim is to help people notice patterns, manage distress and find clearer choices in relationships and life changes.

Nicoleta commonly supports people dealing with relationship strains, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief and major life transitions. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness and caregiving stress. Sexual dysfunction appears among the areas she notes in her broader practice focus.

Her approach draws on client-centred principles, cognitive behavioural ideas, existential and Jungian perspectives, plus mindfulness techniques. That blend is used to match each person’s needs rather than to follow a fixed formula. Sessions aim to help clients build awareness, notice automatic thoughts and make steady changes.

To begin, people are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged according to therapist availability and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that can guide online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on warm, non-judgemental listening and helping people find their own answers. It is useful when someone needs a space to be heard and to build self-trust.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and offers clear exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties by teaching practical skills to try between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of present experience. It supports people facing stress, grief or chronic health worries by helping them settle and notice choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped in the past. She then suggests ways of working and adapts methods as the relationship develops, so the plan is collaborative rather than fixed.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session options are currently offered before booking. Confirming formats helps plan practicalities like session length and whether you will be on camera. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid travel, while the therapist and client agree how to structure sessions to meet the client’s needs.
