About Mihaela
Mihaela Oceanu is a MA-qualified counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 13 years of experience and has worked in the United Kingdom for the past four years, completing over 800 hours of client work there. Mihaela lists concerns she supports including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting, anger and coping with life changes.
She describes a practical approach to therapy that aims to help people set clear goals and plan small steps. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now, identifying patterns, and trying simple strategies between meetings. Cognitive behavioural techniques are part of her toolkit alongside client-centred listening, mindfulness, solution-focused work and hypnotherapy.
Mihaela has worked in different settings and with a range of emotional difficulties. Her background includes work with adults experiencing panic attacks, post-traumatic stress and social phobia, and she has supported people with grief, guilt and feelings of isolation. She tracks progress through regular meetings and adapts plans as issues change.
Sessions are offered in English and Romanian, and she accepts international clients. Cost varies with location; sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, a reader is asked to use the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
Her style is steady and direct. Conversations tend to be focused on concrete steps people can try between appointments, practical ways to manage strong feelings, and clearer communication with others.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs time to talk things out and be understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, panic and anger responses. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how a person responds to techniques, and then decide together which methods to try first. That collaborative testing helps shape sessions that feel useful and manageable.
The biography does not specify exact online formats, so confirm current options before you book. Many people find online sessions let them fit therapy around work or family life, make shorter check-ins easier to arrange, and avoid travel time. Phone or lower-bandwidth options can be useful when video is difficult, while video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when preferred. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises for the online setting and suggest simple between-session tasks to try in everyday life.
