Ioana Mitrache, BACP

Ioana Mitrache is an experienced Integrative Holistic Counsellor who supports individuals, couples, and groups in finding clarity, stability, and purpose. Her practice emphasizes a relational and compassionate stance combined with evidence-based techniques, allowing sessions to be shaped around each person’s unique needs and life context. She uses a systemic holistic method alongside psychogenealogy to explore recurring family patterns and the roots of present difficulties, working with clients to uncover and address the underlying causes of emotional and behavioral blocks.

Ioana welcomes people from all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, religions, cultures, ethnicities, ages, and abilities, offering flexible support designed to meet diverse needs. In therapy she cultivates a respectful environment where clients can move at their own pace, develop greater self-understanding, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. The aim is to help clients gain tools and confidence to make empowered decisions and to shift unhelpful patterns that limit wellbeing.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process rather than a form of fixing, believing each person brings their own wisdom to the work. Ioana walks alongside clients with curiosity, honesty, and steady support as they navigate change, heal from trauma or loss, address relationship and intimacy issues, and build healthier coping strategies. She holds the BACP credential, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which denotes membership of a professional counselling body in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Ioana Mitrache draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and emotional responses, helping people who struggle with abandonment, trust, or closeness issues to develop safer ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective, offering empathic listening and acceptance so individuals can access their own strengths and make choices that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Ioana collaborates with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress unfolds so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or across time zones. These options help maintain continuity of care, increase accessibility for those who cannot attend in person, and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them while working with licensed professionals.
