About Michaela
Michaela Grecu is a counsellor practising from the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. She holds NCPS and brings a background in psychology plus postgraduate study in hypnotherapy and psychotherapy and counselling. Michaela presents as calm and approachable and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for people under stress.
Her work is collaborative and non-judgemental. She adapts methods to suit each person's needs rather than using one fixed technique.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding thoughts, feelings and behaviours so someone can make clearer choices about work, relationships and day-to-day life. Michaela integrates existential ideas with client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. That mix helps people reflect on meaning and values while also learning practical ways to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.
Hypnotherapy and mindfulness are used when appropriate to support relaxation and focus. She helps with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship strains, self-esteem, career crossroads, addiction and grief. Additional areas listed include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, communication and parenting-related pressures.
Sessions can be short or long term, paced to the individual. Michaela aims to build a trusting working relationship so people feel able to talk about difficult topics and try new strategies between meetings.

Online support
How Michaela’s approaches translate to online therapy
Existential Therapy invites people to look at life choices, values and meaning. Online sessions can be a space to think about what matters most and how to live with more purpose. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are, offering empathy and acceptance so clients can reflect and grow. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems down into thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical steps to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood.Making sense of which approach to use is a team effort. Michaela will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that feel most useful. That collaborative process can include trying short experiments between sessions to see what helps.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions for less bandwidth, live chat for shorter check-ins and text messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These formats can fit around work, family life and travel and make it easier to keep continuity when schedules change.
