More about Oana

15 years' experience
Female
BACP

I am a qualified counsellor/psychotherapist

I offer individual and couple/family long and short-term counselling.

My approach is integrative, a multi-model approach, combining various schools of thought and therapy practice.

I believe that every person’s specific needs can be met in a warm, supportive, non-judgmental environment. Having someone to listen to and guide you to different perspectives of seeing things opens doors towards your inner world where all the roots of pain or confusion can be found but where resources for change and personal growing lie also.

I am happy to meet you whether you are looking for a way to know yourself better or improve your connection with others or if you are going through difficult times and can’t find a way to deal with.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
