Nicoleta Porojanu, BACP

Nicoleta Porojanu is a counsellor with BACP accreditation and 19 years of experience in mental health. She trained and worked across clinical, voluntary and independent settings in the United Kingdom. Nicoleta has worked in hospital palliative care, managed residential mental health services and practised as a psychotherapist in independent practice.

She brings a personal connection to trauma and serious illness, which shapes her compassionate style. Sessions focus on listening first, then helping people name what is painful. The aim is to make steady changes that feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

Her work covers relationship difficulties, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication and control problems, and the emotional impact of chronic illness or cancer.

Nicoleta blends a mix of approaches to suit each person. She uses client-centred ideas to create a respectful space, cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful patterns, and mindfulness to build present-moment awareness. Jungian and existential ideas also inform the way she helps people explore meaning and identity.

Therapy with her tends to be collaborative and paced to each person. New clients choose the continue button on this profile, fill a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a respectful, non-judgemental space where a person feels heard and understood. It helps when someone needs emotional validation and room to explore feelings at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect, and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, mood difficulties and relationship behaviours that keep repeating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and choose methods together. That collaborative process guides whether more reflective, practical or meaning-focused tools are used.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow quicker follow-ups when needed. Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. The therapist combines her clinical approaches with the chosen session arrangement to support steady progress and clearer everyday coping.
