Roxana Trelia, BACP

Roxana Trelia is an empathic integrative counsellor who combines clinical training with years of hands-on experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma, low self-esteem, anger, and depression. She trained in psychology in Romania, completing a degree in 2007, and later qualified as an integrative counsellor in the United Kingdom in 2015. Roxana has worked in a variety of settings including schools and psychiatric units, and has supported both children and adults from diverse backgrounds.

Her private practice serves clients in the SL1 and SL5 areas, with particular experience helping displaced people navigate identity issues in a new country and supporting women who have experienced domestic violence. Roxana also works with bereavement and loss - including terminal illness, supporting carers, miscarriage and stillbirth - as well as workplace challenges such as stress and relationship difficulties at work.

Roxana believes in a collaborative approach that helps people identify unhelpful patterns of behaviour and explore the thoughts and feelings that drive them. She emphasises the importance of setting healthy boundaries and realistic goals to rebuild self-esteem and improve relationships. Clients can expect acceptance and honest support as they work toward greater self-awareness and personal growth. Roxana practices in English and Romanian and holds membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Integrative approaches and flexible online therapy

Roxana practices using an integrative approach that draws on a range of evidence-based techniques tailored to each person. Integrative counselling combines methods from different therapeutic models to address the whole person - thoughts, emotions and behaviour - and is useful for issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and self-esteem challenges.

She also applies targeted, evidence-informed ways of working when supporting people through trauma and bereavement, focusing on stabilising distress and helping clients process difficult experiences at a pace that suits them. These approaches aim to reduce symptoms and build coping strategies while respecting each person’s history and needs.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Roxana works with clients to identify goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, adapting methods as therapy progresses so the plan remains a good fit.

Online therapy with Roxana is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or childcare responsibilities. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions and access support from home, while still working with registered professionals and experienced therapists to move toward meaningful change.
