About Mihaela
Mihaela Oceanu is a counsellor with over 13 years of experience and BACP registration. She has worked in a range of settings and has more than four years of practice in the United Kingdom, including over 800 hours of direct client work. Mihaela aims to offer calm, patient and compassionate support to people who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
She focuses on practical, goal-oriented work and helps people make small, steady changes. Conversations typically centre on clear aims and steps to reach them, with attention to daily habits and coping strategies. Clients often bring concerns such as stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and relationship strain.
Mihaela draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Client-Centred methods to build a respectful working relationship and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Hypnotherapy and Mindfulness techniques are available where they may help someone manage anxiety, panic or sleep issues.
Her experience includes supporting people with trauma and abuse, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, addiction patterns and emotional disorders. She also supports those facing life changes, parenting pressures, communication problems and feelings of isolation.
Sessions are offered in English and Romanian, and she accepts international clients. Mihaela describes herself as attentive and meticulous, with a steady manner that helps people feel heard while they work toward change.
How chosen approaches translate to online work
Mihaela uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a trusting, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters most to them. This approach focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions, which can be useful for stress, relationship worries and low self-esteem.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and to practise new ways of coping. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, sleep difficulties and depression because it offers clear exercises to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to match goals, preferences and the issues a person brings. That collaborative decision making helps ensure the plan fits each person’s needs.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use a mix of conversation, guided exercises and mindfulness or hypnotherapy techniques adapted for remote delivery.
