Livia Maria Nestianu, BACP

Livia Maria Nestianu trained initially in psychology and now practices as an integrative counsellor who adapts her approach to each person she works with. With five years of experience, she blends several therapeutic methods to suit individual needs, drawing on person-centered work, attachment theory, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and compassion-focused techniques to help people make sense of patterns and take practical steps forward.

Her sessions are designed as a supportive space where people can explore thoughts, feelings and relationship dynamics at a comfortable pace. She emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person s preferences, helping to identify values, build coping strategies and strengthen self-compassion while addressing concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship and family issues, grief, addiction and mood conditions.

Livia holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects recognised professional membership in the field. Fluent in English and Romanian, she offers tailored, evidence-informed work that aims to foster personal growth, resilience and clearer ways of managing everyday challenges.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and to take meaningful steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, stress and situations where avoidance has become a barrier to living a valued life.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape expectations, trust and emotional responses. This approach is useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and issues rooted in attachment styles.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on offering an empathetic, non-directive space where the client s understanding and autonomy are central. It supports self-exploration, self-esteem and personal growth by building on the client s own resources and pace.

Livia approaches the choice of methods collaboratively - finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic process and she will work with each person to decide which approaches suit their needs, goals and preferences. Registered professionals and therapists often blend techniques to match what works best for an individual.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from home. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity during life transitions and make it possible to receive consistent care without needing to travel.
