Mihaela Oceanu, BACP

Mihaela Oceanu is an MA qualified counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). With 13 years of experience in the field, she has spent the last four years working in the United Kingdom and has accumulated over 800 hours of client work during that time.

She has a broad clinical background and practical experience supporting people with emotional disorders, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, personality disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder and addiction issues. Mihaela has worked across a variety of settings and with a range of age groups, including young adults, adults and elders, helping them define goals, plan actions and pursue personal, social and educational development.

Mihaela is committed to person-centred support that empowers clients to make informed, balanced decisions about their lives. Her training includes theoretical and applied work in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and she integrates evidence-informed techniques to shape treatment plans. She monitors progress through regular meetings, offers behavioural health education and is experienced in crisis intervention.

Colleagues and clients find her calm, composed and empathetic. She values attention to detail and treats each person with respect and compassion. If her approach resonates, prospective clients are encouraged to get in touch to explore whether her style is a good fit.

Online therapeutic approaches and collaborative care

Mihaela combines client-centred work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support people in online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and reflection - it helps with self-exploration, relationship difficulties and building self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic and stress-related concerns and helps people develop practical coping strategies.

She also offers hypnotherapy when appropriate, a guided relaxation and focused-attention method that can complement other therapies by supporting changes in habits, reducing anxiety or aiding sleep patterns. Determining the best approach is part of the therapeutic process - Mihaela works collaboratively with each person to consider needs, goals and personal preferences and to adapt techniques over time.

Online therapy with Mihaela is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals and to continue therapeutic work even when in-person sessions are not possible.
