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 practised in the United Kingdom for several years, completing over 800 hours of client work during that time. She speaks English and Romanian and offers online sessions for clients internationally.
Mihaela favours a person-centred way of working. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries.
Background and approach
She listens first, then helps people set practical goals they can try between sessions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - CBT - to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small behaviour changes. Mindfulness exercises and solution-focused steps are used when useful to build coping skills and steady progress.
Mihaela has supported people through grief, trauma and compassion fatigue. She helps with parenting concerns, sleep problems, anger and intimacy-related issues. Her approach is down-to-earth and focused on what will make a real difference day to day.
Sessions can include short-term goals or longer work, depending on what a person needs. Mihaela invites clients to set the pace, choose priorities, and review progress together as therapy continues.

How Mihaela brings talking therapies online
Mihaela uses Client-Centred Therapy to build a trusting working relationship where a person feels heard and accepted. This approach focuses on the individual’s concerns and supports them to find their own solutions over time.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - CBT - which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT is useful for tackling anxiety, panic, low mood and sleep problems by trying practical steps and noticing what changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mihaela will discuss options with each person and make choices together based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process allows adjustments as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for longer conversations and visual rapport, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for quick check-ins or brief support between calls. These options give flexibility to fit sessions around work, childcare and different time zones.
