Ioana Mitrache, BACP

Ioana Mitrache is an integrative holistic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She blends relational empathy with evidence-informed techniques to help clients gain clarity, stability, and renewed purpose. Working with individuals, couples, and groups, Ioana offers a respectful space where people can explore thoughts, feelings, and patterns at a pace that suits them.

Her practice is inclusive of diverse genders, sexualities, cultures, religions, ages, and abilities, and she draws on a systemic holistic method alongside psychogenealogy to identify recurring family patterns and underlying dynamics. Ioana helps clients work through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and career challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and many other areas of difficulty and growth.

Ioana describes her role as collaborative - she does not set out to "fix" people but to create a space for understanding, acceptance, and transformation. As a BACP registered professional - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she combines Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, CBT and other approaches to tailor therapy to each person. Her aim is to help clients uncover obstacles, build practical tools, and move toward more empowered, connected living.

Therapeutic Approaches and Support Online

Ioana works with Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of relating, helping people address issues like attachment difficulties, intimacy concerns, and relational trauma in a gentle, relational way. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her practice - this approach prioritises empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and collaboration so clients can lead the pace and focus of work while building self-understanding and agency. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical strategies for issues such as anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Ioana collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time so therapy stays relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Ioana is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, different time zones, and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from wherever a person is located while maintaining continuity of care and practical support for everyday challenges.
