About Ilona
Ilona Rakauskaite is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, and problems with self‑esteem. Anger and relationship worries are included among the concerns she helps people with.
Ilona uses straightforward, person-focused ways of working. She treats the person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions aim to clarify what feels most pressing and to find small, workable steps forward.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred ways of talking. She also uses hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques where these suit a client. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused thinking are chosen when someone wants help with practical change, for example around career decisions or addictions.
Ilona has supported people dealing with loss, trauma and compassion fatigue. She also works with those who are navigating separation, communication problems, codependency and control issues. Additional concerns listed include autism and attachment difficulties.
Sessions are offered in English and Lithuanian, and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Ilona integrates attachment-based work and mindfulness in online sessions. Attachment-based therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change repeated reactions, which can be useful for anger and relationship strain. Mindfulness therapy offers practical exercises to reduce reactivity and notice bodily signals before tension rises.She also draws on client-centred methods that focus on the person's perspective and on motivational interviewing when someone wants to make specific changes. Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan together based on what feels most helpful.
