About Oana
Oana Chiru is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with 15 years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger and a wide range of related concerns. Sessions are offered in English, French and Romanian and she accepts international clients.
Oana uses an integrative way of working. She combines different therapy models to match what each person needs. In practical terms this means talking through current problems, looking at patterns that keep those problems going, and finding everyday steps to change how things feel and work.
Her approach often brings attention to past experiences that still affect daily life. Techniques may include trauma-focused work and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing where appropriate, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and client-centred listening. The aim is to uncover the roots of distress while also building coping skills that can be used between sessions.
People come to Oana for issues such as relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction concerns, burnout and grief. She also supports those managing chronic illness, attachment difficulties, body image problems and ADHD-related challenges. Conversations cover both practical steps and deeper emotional material.

Therapy approaches used online and what they do
Oana commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and trauma-focused methods when people work with her online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help with anger that feels automatic or overwhelming. Trauma-focused work and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing aim to address distressing memories and the way they influence current reactions, which can be relevant when past events feed into anger responses.Working out which approach to use is part of the early work. The therapist collaborates with the client to identify goals, try methods, and agree what helps most. That shared planning means the style can shift as needs change, with practical exercises and short tasks between sessions to test what works.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break or saving travel time after work. They also let people use quieter surroundings or choose audio-only contact when that suits concentration or bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss the best way to meet your needs and practical arrangements before your first appointment.
