Ioana Mitrache , BACP

Ioana Mitrache is an integrative holistic counsellor who supports people in finding greater clarity, stability, and a renewed sense of purpose. She works with individuals, couples, and groups, offering a respectful environment where each person can explore thoughts, emotions, and life experiences at their own pace.

Her practice is relational and compassionate, drawing on evidence-informed methods that are adapted to the particular needs of each client. Ioana uses a systemic holistic approach and psychogenealogy to help uncover recurring patterns and family influences that can shape current behaviour and emotional responses. This work is designed to identify and address the blockages that interfere with well-being.

In sessions clients can expect to be heard, valued, and treated with dignity as they develop practical tools and greater confidence to make empowered choices. Ioana emphasises the importance of meaningful connections with oneself and others as central to growth and recovery. By exploring underlying causes rather than focusing solely on symptoms, she helps clients direct their efforts toward lasting change and personal potential.

Therapy with Ioana is framed as a collaborative journey rather than an effort to "fix" someone. She accompanies each person with curiosity, honesty, and steady support as they navigate their own process of understanding, acceptance, and transformation.

Approaches that inform online therapeutic care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current emotional patterns and interpersonal connections. It helps people understand attachment styles and repair relational wounds, which can be useful for issues such as intimacy concerns, abandonment, and relationship difficulties.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client’s own experience, offering an accepting and nonjudgmental space in which personal insight and self-directed growth can emerge. This approach supports people working through self-esteem, identity, or life transition challenges by emphasizing empathy and collaboration.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, stress, mood-related concerns, and developing coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ioana works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore options and adapt the work as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Ioana uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, maintain continuity during transitions, and connect with licensed professionals from different locations, while preserving the relational and practical elements of the therapeutic work.
