Nicoleta Porojanu, BACP

Nicoleta Porojanu is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 19 years' experience in mental health and wellbeing. She brings a long career that includes work in palliative care, residential and supported living services, and independent practice. Nicoleta draws on her personal experience of surviving childhood trauma and a serious illness to inform her compassionate approach.

She helps people who are dealing with relationship pain, trauma and abuse, grief, or major life changes. She also supports those facing issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, and challenges linked to chronic illness or caregiving stress. Sessions focus on understanding patterns and finding ways to feel more settled in daily life.

Nicoleta blends practical talking therapy with reflective work. She uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural tools, mindfulness techniques and elements of existential and Jungian thinking. The point is to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and build better ways of coping.

Her style is warm and direct. She aims to make space for emotion while helping people find clearer direction and purpose. Many clients explore family of origin issues, difficulties around commitment or control, and the emotional fallout of separation or domestic violence.

To begin, people use the site's Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches you can explore online

Nicoleta commonly draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on attentive listening and helping people find their own answers, which can ease relationship strain and emotional pain. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and offers simple, practical experiments to alter unhelpful patterns.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help people stay present and manage intense feelings. Mindfulness can support coping with grief, chronic illness and ongoing stress by teaching short exercises that calm the mind and body.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. Together they will try ideas, reflect on what helps, and adapt the work as needed.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, health care or caring duties, and it can reduce travel time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, helping people maintain progress alongside everyday responsibilities.
