Mihaela is extremely kind and caring. She really helped me with my self confidence and self esteem and even helped me through a very difficult break up. She is always thoughtful and has a wealth of knowledge that she readily passes on. Highly recommend her.

More about Mihaela
- 11 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
As a MA qualified counsellor, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), my experience in this field spans over ten years. The last four years of experience gained here in the United Kingdom, where I have achieved over 800 hours of patient work.
I have a proven track record of supporting patient’s in a variety of different settings. Fully committed to providing person centric support, which empowers patient’s to make informed, well-balanced and educated decisions.
My knowledge in this field is extensive, and includes different areas of theoretical counselling approaches and their application to real world settings, specifically Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
Extensive experience working with young adults, adults and elders with emotional disorders, anxiety, panic attack, depression, personality disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and addiction issues to name a few.
I helped patient’s to define goals and plan action, to achieve personal, social and educational development. Following the implementation of the treatment plans and therapeutic process, I monitored the patient’s progress through regular meetings. I provided behavioural health education and crisis intervention.
Apart from all the professional aspects of my career, on a personal level I am calm and collected, composed, patient and empathetic which I believe are important and imperative in this line of work. I believe in attention to detail and I am meticulous in everything I do, I am open to understand and treat anyone with respect and compassion.
If anything what I said resonates with you, don’t hesitate and contact me!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Great lady, really works with you and is very patient and understanding. Would definitely recommend to anyone :)
She is very good at her job and i feel comfortable with her
Mihaela is kind, compassionate and an expert in her field. I found myself very much improved mentally after her sessions and I would look forward to them weekly.
Absolutely superb, compassionate and understanding. I am very happy with Mihaela’s methods and help she has been a godsend!
Mihaela has been a great support in my last few weeks of therapy. She listens to my concerns and builds the session around those concerns. Each week I have gained more confidence in myself thanks to the approach Mihaela has taken. She always sets some goals to work towards for the next session which gives me something to focus on for the week. She remains calm and professional which is just what I needed.
I really feel heard
I had a great experience with Mihaela as my therapist. She is attentive, an excellent listener, and genuinely caring. I felt that she not only wanted to understand me and my concerns but also taught me how to deal with things going forward. I highly recommend Mihaela.
Mihaela is a good therapist , i am geting over my concerns step by step under her guidance .
Mihaela is absolutely wonderful. She is very caring, friendly and made me feel comfortable immediately when we first started our sessions. She gave me some really helpful skills that helped with my anxiety, and when I missed a session (some extreme weather events/natural disasters etc), she consistently checked in on me to ensure that I was OK although I had given no explanation. I am very grateful to her and highly recommend anyone else speak to Mihaela.
Mihaela has been a fantastic therapist - she has guided me out of depression and anxiety which I now feel free of. She helped me to regain confidence in myself and abilities, to make sure I reward myself after an achievement, to live more in the present and therefore stop over thinking/worrying, to relax more and the list goes on. I am very grateful to her and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Mihaela's is always attentive during our sessions and is quick to help me understand my thinking. The sessions are conducted in the utmost professional conduct whilst at the same time Mihaela adds a warming human touch by constantly being attentive to whatever I say or feel and so the sessions flow smoothly as a result.
I am thankful to Mihaela for the path we have undertaken together. Every session is thought-provoking and it has turned up that sessions with her are now an essential tool to my week.
Mihaela is very friendly and listens well. We’ve built up the sessions from understanding my situations to looking at tools to help on a long term basis.
