About Livia

Livia Maria Nestianu trained in psychology before moving into counselling and psychotherapy, bringing a solid understanding of human behaviour to her therapeutic work. She practises as an integrative counsellor, tailoring each session to the individual by blending established approaches such as person-centred therapy, attachment theory, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and compassion-focused therapy. This flexible method allows her to adapt to each client’s needs while drawing on evidence-informed techniques.

She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates recognition by the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. In sessions she creates a supportive environment where clients can explore thoughts, emotions and patterns of relating, and she works collaboratively to identify goals and develop practical steps toward change. Whether addressing daily stress, relationship concerns or deeper emotional wounds, her aim is to help clients make meaningful progress in a way that fits their life and values.

Throughout the therapeutic process she emphasises empathy, respect and personal pace, offering space to reflect, process and build new ways of coping. Her integrative orientation supports a personalised path to growth and healing.

Therapeutic approaches for effective online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values - it is useful for managing anxiety, stress and unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences shape current emotional responses and interpersonal patterns, assisting those struggling with trust, closeness or abandonment issues. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathy, unconditional positive regard and collaboration, creating a respectful space where clients can lead the pace of their own change and build self-understanding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Livia works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. She brings an integrative mindset, combining elements from different methods to tailor a plan that feels practical and meaningful for each person.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule appointments around work, family or other commitments. These formats support continuity of care and allow therapy to proceed from wherever clients are, while maintaining a focus on effective, person-centred support.
