About Ioana Mitrache
Ioana Mitrache is an integrative, holistic counsellor who supports people seeking greater clarity, stability, and purpose in their lives. She works with individuals, couples, and groups, guiding each person through a relational and compassionate process that draws on evidence-based techniques tailored to individual needs. Her practice emphasizes understanding patterns across a person�s life - including family and generational influences - and she uses systemic holistic methods and psychogenealogy to uncover and address repeated dynamics that can limit wellbeing.
Ioana creates a respectful space where people can take their time to explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences. She aims to help clients identify and overcome the blockages they face, build practical skills, and develop the confidence to make empowered decisions. Her approach is grounded in the belief that meaningful connections with oneself and others are central to growth and healing.
Rather than positioning therapy as a way to �fix� someone, Ioana views it as a collaborative journey of understanding, acceptance, and change. She walks alongside each person with curiosity, honesty, and support, helping them reveal underlying causes of distress and focus their efforts on unlocking potential. Ioana holds BACP accreditation - membership of the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom - which reflects her commitment to professional standards.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Ioana
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present-day patterns in relationships and emotional responses. It helps people understand fears of abandonment, difficulty trusting others, and recurring attachment wounds so they can form more secure connections.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client�s own perspective leads the work. This approach supports self-discovery, self-esteem, and personal growth by emphasizing empathy, active listening, and the client�s autonomy.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, and low mood. It offers practical strategies and skills for managing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Ioana works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines methods when appropriate and discusses options with clients so the work remains tailored and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and travel commitments, and allow people to connect with registered professionals and therapists from different locations when that suits their life.
