Ioana Mitrache, BACP

Ioana Mitrache is a counsellor with eight years of clinical experience. She works from a relational, client-focused stance and aims to help people find greater clarity and steadiness in day-to-day life.

She uses a blend of approaches to suit each person. Sessions focus on what matters now and on patterns that repeat across time. The goal is practical change - clearer thinking, calmer reactions, and better choices.

Ioana draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive-behavioural strategies to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Alongside these, client-centred principles shape sessions so people feel heard and respected.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She also lists a number of additional focus areas such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, body image, neurodiversity, and kink and alternative sex culture.

Sessions are offered in English and Romanian, and international clients are accepted. Fees vary by location and therapist availability, and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How specific approaches shape online work

Ioana commonly uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive-behavioural techniques in her practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people understand their emotional responses to others. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss preferences, goals and what feels most useful. That helps decide whether attachment-focused reflection, practical CBT tools, or a mix will best support the person’s aims.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, cutting travel time and allowing meetings around work or family commitments. It can also let someone choose shorter check-ins when needed or avoid being on camera if that is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who work this way, adapt their methods so therapy still focuses on steady progress and useful skills.
