Background and approach
Conversations are calm and steady, aimed at building understanding and small changes that add up over time. Her work draws on a mix of established approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness, alongside solution-focused techniques and hypnotherapy where appropriate. She uses theory in straightforward ways to help with everyday problems like anxiety, panic attacks, sleep difficulties, low mood and grief.
People contact her for stress, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, anger, and coping with life changes. Additional areas she addresses include attachment worries, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and social anxiety. Mihaela describes herself as composed and patient.
She aims to support people with respect and compassion, and she tracks progress through regular meetings and agreed actions. To begin, people use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How Mihaela works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Sessions often include simple exercises and practical plans to reduce anxiety, manage panic attacks or improve sleep and mood.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up by them. It can be useful for stress, rumination and burnout-related concerns such as compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then agree a plan together. That collaborative process shapes whether sessions use CBT tasks, mindfulness practice, hypnotherapy elements or solution-focused steps.
Please confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list which formats are provided. 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 adapt exercises and homework so the work continues between sessions.
