About Livia
Livia Maria Nestianu offers a gentle, client-centred approach to counselling. She draws on person-centred ways of working to make conversations feel respectful and non-judgemental. Livia begins by listening to what matters most to each person. She then helps people find their own solutions at a comfortable pace.
She uses a blend of approaches to match individual needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical changes. Attachment-focused ideas support work on patterns in close relationships.
Livia has a background in psychology and five years’ experience in counselling work. Her practice supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, and a wide range of life changes. She also helps those facing issues such as addiction, relationship and intimacy problems, eating concerns, ADHD and career questions.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian. Livia works from the United Kingdom and does not accept international clients.
To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is arranged according to therapist availability and the service uses a cancellable subscription model that varies with location and availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and accepting each person’s experience, helping them find their own path forward. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values, which can help with anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based ideas look at patterns in close relationships and how early connection styles affect current reactions and intimacy.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation and can change as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Many people find it easier to schedule shorter check-ins around work or appointments. Confirm the session formats directly before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often offer ways to make appointments more convenient while keeping the focus on real-world goals and day-to-day coping.
