Hello, I'm Nicoleta

About me

I’m a London based therapist licensed in the UK and I have over 19 years of experience in the field of mental health and wellbeing in both clinical/voluntary and private sectors.

My professional identity has been shaped by a variety of roles, from clinical psychologist in a palliative care hospital, to manager of residential and supported living mental health services, and also psychotherapist and counsellor in private practice. I am a survivor of childhood trauma and Triple Negative Breast Cancer myself and I take great interest in working with trauma, relationships, addiction, depression, anxiety, and various others relational, social, physical and mental health challenges.

I feel that no one can go through life untouched and I use a caring and compassionate approach to help you unpack and heal your wounds and to move through adversities and hardship in life. My approach is holistic and integrative and in my work I blend a variety of tools and interventions and a variety of disciplines to help you in your process of self-discovery, healing and personal growth.

I am the host the Open To Happiness podcast and I am also the founder of the mental health charity The Significant You. I consider them both to be my gift to the humanity and I find it rewarding to share my learnings with others and guide them through conflict and pain to ease suffering and promote happiness and fulfilment.

About you

You might be going through a recent relationship struggle, significant loss, illness or career junction that add to the luggage you carry from the past. You are unhappy, confused and in pain and you are gradually awakening to the true nature of reality. I have been there! From childhood trauma to TNBC and many loses in between, I know the sour taste of adversity and hardship.

You would like to thrive, to feel at peace, balanced and in happy relationships. You want to start healing so you can savour the present moment and exude aliveness and vitality.

This is all very possible. Start your journey within and let me guide you in your inner work. I will teach you to live a mindful life, grow awareness and find clarity and direction in life. I will guide you through my trauma healing model to free yourself from unresolved trauma and hurt, to repair your relationships and finally open to happiness and fulfilment.

I look forward to meeting you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Nicoleta is always very responsive to my needs and helps me resolve issues that I’ve been dealing with ! From recent desertion by my wife of 24 years to recently diagnosed kidney cancer that has also now been removed, Nicoleta is always compassionate and professional !!

Reviewed July 2024

After working with Nicoleta I feel so much lighter and have a clear space in my mind where I am able to once again problem solve and work through thoughts and feelings in a constructive way. Nicoleta has talked me through breathing techniques and helped me to explore thoughts and feelings in depth. Nicoleta has challenged my way of thinking and guided me through some childhood trauma work. I have felt a big weight has been lifted. I have also managed to stop anti-depressant medication that I have been taking for around 7 years. Nicoleta was always kind and nurturing, patient and calm. I enjoyed her critical thinking and also understanding the psychology behind her work. I feel so much more in tune with my body and my life. I feel I am now able to stop “the noise” and focus on what matters. I would definitely want to work with Nicoleta again in the future. Thank you so much for the tools you have equipped me with.

Nicoleta is a great therapist! In half a year's time she helped me with multiple trauma (childhood, displacement, narcissistic parents, bullying at school) and I finally feel I can breathe, I am free. Slowly I am finding my feet and able to make informed and conscious decisons withouth fear and panic rushing through me. I can only recommend Nicoleta and giver her work highest accolades.

Nicoleta help me get through my first break up and help me figure out the reason for my anxious attachment style. She also helped me figure out how the traumas I went through in my childhood shaped how I think and react today and how can I overcome it. She also helped me to understand how can I be more accepting of people and how can choose a more compatibile partner in future.
