About Ioana
Ioana Mitrache draws on eight years' experience to help people find greater clarity and steadiness in their lives. She holds BACP accreditation, and works with clients who are facing stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and can be arranged for people inside or outside the United Kingdom.
Her style is relational and compassionate. Ioana listens for the patterns that keep people stuck and helps name what feels hard.
Background and approach
She uses everyday language and practical steps so clients can try things between sessions. Ioana blends several approaches to meet each person's needs. She uses Existential ideas to help people reflect on meaning and choice.
Attachment-based perspectives are used to look at how relationships shaped current struggles. Client-centred principles keep the conversation focused on the client's experience and priorities. In practical terms sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
This flexibility supports people with different schedules and communication preferences. People come for help with a wide range of issues, including trauma, addictions, grief, self-esteem, eating and sleeping concerns, ADHD, parenting stress, career questions and relationship difficulties. Ioana also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and caregiver stress.
Work with Ioana usually begins by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling a session. The subscription model lets people continue or stop when they need to.

Online support
How Ioana’s approaches translate to online therapy
Ioana draws on Existential Therapy to help people reflect on meaning, responsibility and the choices they face. This approach can help when life changes, grief or questions about identity feel overwhelming. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how earlier relationships shape current reactions and stress. It helps when people notice patterns in how they relate to others and want different ways of connecting.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust them based on what works for the individual rather than prescribing a single route from the start.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when they prefer visual contact. Phone sessions can be useful when the internet is unreliable or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or for those who find written communication easier. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, while allowing people to choose the style that best supports their progress.
