About Livia
Livia Maria Nestianu is an integrative counsellor who blends several therapeutic approaches to meet each person's needs. She trained in psychology before moving into counselling and draws on a mix of methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. Her sessions are designed as a supportive space to talk through current struggles.
She prioritises listening and tailoring the work to each person. Conversations can cover career worries, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
With five years of experience, she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Somatic Therapy. Those methods are used together rather than as separate recipes, so the focus changes depending on what helps most.
She also supports people dealing with grief, compassion fatigue, bipolar and ADHD concerns, as well as body image, caregiver stress and chronic illness. Additional themes include abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication and codependency problems. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and take place in the United Kingdom.
Livia holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP in her credentials. If someone wants to start, they complete the site's matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. People can expect practical conversation and strategies alongside space to understand emotions.
The emphasis is on finding what helps someone move forward at their own pace.

How Livia works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means approaches can shift as needs change, with the person steering the pace and focus.
If you are considering online sessions, check the available session formats before booking to confirm what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online conversations can still include practical exercises, emotion-focused reflection and grounding techniques adapted for remote sessions, and the therapist will help choose what fits your situation.
