Roxana Trelia, BACP

Roxana Trelia welcomes people with warmth and calm. She is a counsellor with ten years' experience and a BACP registration. She aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and respectful for anyone feeling overwhelmed.

Roxana has worked in a range of settings since completing a psychology degree in Romania in 2007. She moved to the United Kingdom in 2009 and became an integrative counsellor in 2015. Her background includes roles in schools, hospital psychiatric units and independent practice, where she has supported adults and children from varied backgrounds.

Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, grief and bereavement, depression, self-esteem, anger, trauma and abuse, relationship issues and family-related concerns. She also has experience helping displaced people adjust to life in a new country and supporting women who have experienced domestic violence. Practical problems at work, such as stress and workplace relationships, are also within her remit.

Roxana works collaboratively to spot unhelpful behaviour patterns and the thoughts and feelings connected to them. She encourages setting boundaries and realistic goals as part of rebuilding confidence and improving relationships. Sessions aim to combine acceptance with honest feedback so clients can make steady progress.

How evidence-based techniques shape online support

Roxana describes her practice as integrative, which means she draws on a range of evidence-based techniques to suit each person. An integrative approach typically blends talking therapies that help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and practical tools for managing strong emotions. This can help with anxiety, depression, relationship strain and grief.

She also focuses on goal-setting and boundary work. These methods involve setting small, achievable steps and practising new ways of relating to others. That kind of work often helps people rebuild self-esteem and make changes that feel manageable over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to agree which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm which session formats Roxana currently offers before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into busy days, remove travel time and can make it easier to attend regular appointments. Others prefer shorter check-ins by phone when they have limited time or lower bandwidth. Discussing practical arrangements ahead of the first session makes it easier to choose what will work best.
