About Michaela
Michaela Grecu is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. She holds the NCPS credential and trained in psychology, hypnotherapy and psychotherapy and counselling. Michaela offers practical, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or life changes.
Michaela keeps sessions collaborative and respectful. She listens without judgement and adapts her approach to each person. Conversations are focused on what is most useful right now, with clear steps to try between sessions when helpful.
Background and approach
Her work draws on several approaches, including cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and hypnotherapy. These are used in simple ways - noticing thought patterns, practising grounding techniques and learning new ways to respond to difficult emotions. Michaela also helps people wrestling with parenting challenges, work pressures, relationship worries and issues around addiction, eating or sleep.
She pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when they come up, and to how guilt, shame or isolation affect daily life. Sessions can be short or longer term, and are paced to suit each person. The aim is to help people make clearer choices, feel more able to cope and find practical routes forward.
If someone wants to try talking things through and working on change, she offers straightforward support to get started.

How Michaela uses therapy online
Michaela draws on client-centred work to focus on each person's experience and priorities. This approach means the conversation is shaped around what matters to the client, helping them feel heard and decide next steps.She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and to try alternatives. CBT-style work can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and struggles with motivation or routine.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michaela will discuss options and tailor methods based on a person's goals, needs and preferences so the plan feels collaborative and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits deeper, face-to-face style work; phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, shorter exchanges or when written reflection helps. These options give flexibility for fitting sessions around work, parenting and everyday life.
