About Mihaela

Mihaela Oceanu is a counsellor with a Master of Arts and 13 years of experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has spent recent years building clinical hours in the United Kingdom. She communicates in English and Romanian and accepts international clients.

Mihaela draws on several practical therapy methods to help people manage anxiety, stress, depression and relationship concerns. She often works with people facing grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues, and supports those dealing with panic, social anxiety and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Sessions focus on clear goals and step-by-step plans to make everyday life feel more manageable.

Her style is calm and composed. Sessions aim to be patient, respectful and practical. Mihaela encourages people to name a goal, try small changes and track what works over time. She pays attention to detail and supports clients in building skills for coping and self-care.

Mihaela has experience working across different settings and with varied emotional difficulties, including panic attacks, obsessive compulsive behaviours, addiction-related concerns and personality difficulties. She has provided behavioural health education and short-term crisis intervention as part of her work.

People who prefer a straightforward, goal-focused approach might find her helpful. The first steps are simple - pick a goal, talk through options, and agree a plan for change. If the reader wants to proceed, the site process guides them to match with Mihaela and arrange sessions that suit their schedule.

How Mihaela uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions and focuses on listening, empathy and supporting the choices someone makes. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make their own decisions about change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, tackle panic and change habits that keep problems going.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mihaela will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel and by allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They may also let someone choose audio-only time if video is difficult, or schedule sessions around work or childcare commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
