About Mihaela
Mihaela Oceanu is a counsellor with 13 years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has worked in a range of settings and has completed over 800 hours of direct client work in the United Kingdom. Mihaela aims to offer calm, patient and compassionate support to people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
Her approach is person-centred and practical. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on small steps that can make a difference day to day. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness tools to help people notice patterns, test new ways of thinking, and build steadier routines.
Mihaela also uses solution-focused methods to help set clear, achievable goals. Hypnotherapy can be offered as an additional tool where appropriate. Together these approaches are used to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, panic, grief and difficulties with self-esteem and intimacy.
She has experience supporting people through trauma and abuse, relationship and communication problems, separation and divorce, and the specific pressures of parenting and caring roles. Mihaela pays attention to each person’s unique background and helps them plan practical steps for change.

How counselling approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and working at your pace so you set the agenda and decide what to work on. It helps when someone needs a steady space to talk through feelings and make their own choices about change.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. In sessions the counsellor and client identify unhelpful patterns and try small experiments to shift thinking and routines, which can reduce anxiety and improve sleep.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative decision and plans can be adjusted as you go.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It can also let someone choose sessions in English or Romanian and continue work from a different location when international contact is suitable.
