About Livia

Livia Maria Nestianu began her professional path with a background in psychology before pursuing formal counselling and psychotherapy training. She works as an integrative counsellor, tailoring her approach to each person by blending a range of therapeutic methods such as client-centered therapy, attachment-informed work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and compassion-focused ideas. This flexible approach allows her to adapt sessions to the individual's needs and preferences, whether they are navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, or issues related to work and identity.

In sessions she offers a supportive and nonjudgmental space for exploration, helping clients to reflect on patterns, build coping strategies, and foster personal growth. Livia provides therapy in English and Romanian and holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional training and commitment to recognised practice standards. Her work is collaborative and client-led, aimed at helping people make meaningful changes at a pace that suits them.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them, and to clarify personal values that guide meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections, helping clients explore attachment needs, improve communication, and repair relational difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, non-directive stance in which the therapist offers understanding and empathy to support self-exploration and growth, often helping with self-esteem, decision-making, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Livia works collaboratively to identify which methods align with each person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Together they review what is or is not working and adapt the plan over time to better support progress.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility - it makes it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or mobility needs and allows consistent contact even when in-person meetings are difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to deliver focused, effective work while accommodating different communication styles and scheduling requirements.
