About Michaela
Michaela Grecu is a counsellor practising from the United Kingdom with eight years of client work behind her. She holds a Degree in Psychology and postgraduate diplomas in Hypnotherapy and in Psychotherapy and Counselling, and is registered with the NCPS. Michaela offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and aims to make therapy approachable for people feeling overwhelmed or anxious.
Michaela adopts a collaborative, person-focused way of working. Sessions are shaped around what an individual needs rather than a single method.
Background and approach
She draws on a blend of approaches to meet practical goals and to help people make sense of their thoughts and feelings. In practical terms she uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness alongside hypnotherapy and client-centred dialogue. That mix is used to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and tackle patterns that keep people stuck.
The work often includes noticing thought patterns, building coping strategies, and practising new ways of responding. Michaela also helps with relationship strain, low self-esteem, career worries, addiction issues, grief, and challenges linked to trauma or life transitions. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, and difficulties around intimacy and commitment.
Sessions can be short or longer term depending on what feels right. Michaela encourages steady progress at a comfortable pace and supports people who want practical tools as well as deeper personal insight.
Approaches and online options for manageable change
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist reflects your thoughts and feelings back so you feel heard and can explore what matters most. This approach helps people who need a steady, respectful space to make sense of things.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to build clearer coping strategies, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation; it often pairs well with CBT for ongoing stress management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences at first and then adapt techniques together. That collaborative planning helps ensure the methods chosen fit the person's needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typing or want to reflect between messages. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and daily routines.
