Background and approach

She also draws on mindfulness and hypnotherapy when these approaches fit the person’s needs. Her background includes work with people experiencing anxiety, stress, panic attacks, depression, grief and trauma-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, communication problems, attachment issues and isolation.

Mihaela pays attention to everyday difficulties such as sleeping problems, anger and coping with life changes. Sessions are structured around what the person wants to achieve. She helps define goals, track progress and adjust plans over time.

Meetings can include talking, practical exercises and guided awareness or relaxation work depending on the approach chosen. Mihaela describes her style as calm, patient and attentive to detail. She explains things simply and focuses on small, manageable changes.

People who prefer a collaborative, goal-oriented counsellor tend to find her approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s needs at the centre. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own solutions, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses simple exercises and small homework tasks to reduce panic, manage anxiety and improve sleep patterns.

Mihaela will work with each person to decide which approach or combination feels right. That choice is collaborative - goals, preferences and practical constraints guide the plan. She adjusts methods as progress is reviewed so the work stays relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and fuller discussion, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while still following a clear therapeutic plan.
