About Mihaela
Mihaela Oceanu is a counsellor with a BACP accreditation and 13 years of experience. She has worked in a variety of settings and has completed over 800 hours of client work in the United Kingdom. Mihaela works with common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression and anger, and she also supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues.
She uses practical counselling methods that aim to help people set clear goals. Mihaela draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centred and solution-focused ideas to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. She also incorporates mindfulness and hypnotherapy where appropriate.
Mihaela has experience supporting adults through trauma, grief, panic attacks and post-traumatic stress. She helps people who wrestle with self-esteem, guilt, shame and isolation to identify small, manageable steps forward. Her work includes helping people plan actions and review progress in regular meetings.
Her approach is straightforward and attentive. Sessions focus on what matters now - reducing distress, improving communication, and building coping skills for daily life. She attends to details and tracks outcomes so people can see what changes over time.
Mihaela offers sessions in English and Romanian and accepts international clients. Arrangements around session format should be confirmed before booking. To begin, clients follow the service's matching questionnaire and then schedule a first meeting.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding what matters to the person and on listening in a non-directive way. It helps when someone needs space to talk through triggers for their anger and to make sense of how they react in relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going. It offers practical exercises and short experiments to test different responses to anger, stress and anxiety.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to notice bodily cues and early signs of frustration. Practising these skills can reduce the speed and intensity of emotional reactions.
Finding the best mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit the client's needs. Decisions about techniques are made together and adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit around work and family life, and allows for shorter check-ins or meetings without travel. It can also reduce the need for camera use when that helps, or use lower bandwidth options for clearer audio during stressful moments.
