About Bianca

Bianca Barbu helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and parenting concerns. She uses a client-focused style to listen, reflect and help people talk things through. Bianca is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has six years of professional experience.

Bianca keeps sessions straightforward. She encourages clear discussion of what is worrying someone now and what changes they want to make. She pays attention to how current problems link with past relationships and attachment patterns. That can help when someone struggles with trust, commitment or feeling understood.

Her work draws on attachment-based methods and client-centred counselling to build a steady working relationship. Trauma-focused approaches are used when past events are getting in the way of daily life. Systemic ideas are brought in to consider how family patterns and roles affect feelings and choices.

Bianca supports people through grief, low self-esteem and the practical strains of caregiving. She also addresses more specific concerns such as hoarding behaviours, impulsivity, isolation, jealousy and blended family issues. Sessions look at both immediate coping strategies and longer term patterns that shape behaviour.

Bianca asks people to set clear goals and reviews progress regularly. She aims to keep sessions practical and conversational, with a focus on small, manageable changes. Booking starts with a short matching questionnaire and a first session to agree what to work on.

How her approaches work for online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and early connections. It looks at how those patterns affect trust, closeness and conflict now, which can help with relationship problems and attachment issues.

Client-centred counselling puts the person’s experience at the centre. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps the client make sense of feelings and choices, useful for low self-esteem, anxiety and coping with life changes.

Trauma-focused work pays attention to past events that continue to affect day-to-day life. It aims to reduce intrusive memories and strong emotional reactions and to build practical coping strategies.

Bianca will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. At the first sessions she will discuss goals, preferences and which methods to use, and adjust the plan as the work progresses.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as these are not listed here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a week, for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or removing the need to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods to work across distance and focus on practical change, day-to-day coping and improving relationships.
