About Teodora
Teodora Bobarca helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life changes using talking therapies and coaching methods. She works with adults aged 18 and over on issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, anger, workplace difficulties and compassion fatigue. Teodora is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has seven years' experience.
She uses an integrative approach that draws on specific therapies to match what a person needs in the session. That means sessions can include cognitive work, acceptance-based exercises, motivational techniques or client-centred listening depending on the issue. Practical coping skills and ways to make small changes are part of the work.
Her background includes work in primary care and mental health charities, and experience with school settings and online private practice. She has formal qualifications in integrative counselling and psychotherapy, a master’s in psychology, and a coaching certificate. These roles have informed her practical focus on everyday problems.
In sessions she aims to collaborate with each person to identify goals and build coping strategies. Topics commonly addressed include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, body image, guilt and shame, social anxiety and panic attacks. The work also covers career concerns and exploring life purpose.
Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and Teodora is available to work with people internationally. She combines therapy methods with health and wellbeing coaching principles to help clients make gradual changes and improve their day-to-day functioning.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Teodora commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and accepting difficult thoughts while taking steps towards what matters, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce unhelpful patterns, which is useful for panic, social anxiety and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different therapies as that becomes useful. This collaborative decision making helps shape short-term plans and longer term goals.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include easier scheduling and fitting work around home and job commitments. If you are arranging sessions, please confirm which formats Teodora currently offers before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it simpler to maintain continuity of care and to attend shorter check-ins between longer sessions.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
