About Ioana
Ioana Mitrache is a BACP counsellor with eight years of practice based in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression and challenges with addiction. Ioana speaks English and Romanian and meets people online using video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
She uses a relational, client-centred style that helps people feel heard and understood. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps the person can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Ioana also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Her approach combines talking therapies with tools from cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour traditions. That means she helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts, test new behaviours and build emotion-regulation skills.
EMDR is listed among the methods she uses when trauma and difficult memories are present. Ioana also works with life transitions, grief, work stress and identity questions including LGBT concerns. She supports people dealing with relationship issues, intimacy and communication problems, as well as parenting-related strain and carer stress.

Online support
How Ioana's approaches work online
Ioana uses client-centred work to place the person's experience at the heart of therapy. That means conversations follow what matters most to the client and the counsellor reflects back to help clarify feelings and goals. This approach suits people who need a listening, non-directive space to make sense of things.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns formed early in life. This helps when difficulties keep repeating in close relationships or when someone struggles with trust, fear of abandonment or emotional distance.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to match the client’s concerns, goals and personal preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasise talking, practical skills from cognitive or dialectical work, or deeper attachment-focused exploration.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work, phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging works well for regular brief support and when writing helps clarify thoughts. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
