Ioana Mitrache, BACP

Ioana Mitrache is an integrative holistic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She offers individual, couples, and group therapy and works in a relational, compassionate manner that draws on evidence-based techniques tailored to each person’s needs. Ioana is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to recognised professional standards.

Her practice emphasises a systemic holistic method and psychogenealogy to explore family patterns and underlying dynamics that shape thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Clients are invited to explore their experiences at their own pace in a safe, respectful, and personal space, while developing practical tools to make empowered decisions and change unhelpful patterns. Ioana’s work is grounded in curiosity, honesty, and collaborative engagement rather than a focus on “fixing” people.

She welcomes people from all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, religions, abilities, cultures, ethnicities, and ages and accepts international clients. Fluent in English and Romanian, Ioana supports a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related matters, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, career questions, bipolar and ADHD related coping, and adjustments to life changes. Her role is to walk alongside clients, offering support as they uncover meaning and work toward growth and greater wellbeing.

Online approaches rooted in attachment and practical change

Ioana draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help clients understand how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and emotional responses; this approach can be especially useful for people who struggle with intimacy, abandonment, or attachment issues. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasises empathy, acceptance, and a collaborative pace so clients can explore their own wisdom and make changes from a place of self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key element of her work, offering practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ioana works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preference. She combines relational attunement with practical tools so the therapy can adapt as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and time zones. These options make it easier to access consistent support, maintain momentum between sessions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each client while working with registered professionals and therapists.
