About Mihaela

Mihaela Oceanu works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, grief and a range of related concerns using client-centred methods and practical therapies. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 13 years of experience in the field.

Mihaela uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, hypnotherapy and solution-focused work. She aims to help people identify specific goals and take concrete steps towards them. Sessions involve talking through patterns, trying small experiments and practising new ways of coping between meetings.

Her background includes over 800 hours of client work carried out in the United Kingdom across the last four years of her practice. She has worked in a range of settings and with clients experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, depression, obsessive thoughts and addictions among other difficulties.

Mihaela places practical problem-solving at the heart of many sessions. That can mean planning behavioural steps, developing clearer communication, or learning simple mindfulness exercises. She also uses hypnotherapy where appropriate to support changes in habits or managing stress responses.

She offers counselling in English and Romanian and works with international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches work for online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The counsellor encourages the client to lead the conversation while offering reflection and support to clarify feelings and goals. This approach is useful when someone needs space to explore their thoughts and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses practical steps to change them. Work often includes identifying unhelpful thinking, setting small tasks between sessions and tracking progress, which suits problems like anxiety, low mood and panic symptoms.

Hypnotherapy is used as a therapeutic tool to support changes in habits and reduce stress responses. It typically involves guided relaxation and suggestion to help someone focus on specific goals or coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps decide whether to draw more on CBT, client-centred listening, hypnotherapy or solution-focused techniques.

Confirm specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives choice over whether to use video or another format if that suits day-to-day life better.
