About Nicoleta
Nicoleta Porojanu is a BACP counsellor with 19 years of experience in mental health and wellbeing. She brings a background that includes clinical roles in palliative care, managing residential and supported living services, and independent practice. Nicoleta writes and speaks about mental health and runs charitable work aimed at widening access to support.
She often helps people who are coping with relationship trouble, loss, trauma and major life changes. Her lived experience of childhood trauma and surviving Triple Negative Breast Cancer informs her understanding of long-term recovery and resilience.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and grounded, focused on small steps that make everyday life easier. Her approach mixes existential ideas with client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural tools. Jungian perspectives and mindfulness practices also appear in her work when they fit a person’s needs.
She prefers to tailor sessions so people can try different ways of working and see what helps most. In conversation she aims to be warm and straightforward. She supports people to name difficult feelings, challenge unhelpful patterns, and try new ways of relating.
Therapy can include reflection, practical exercises and short written tasks between sessions. Nicoleta accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. She uses a subscription model for appointments, and people begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking according to the therapist’s schedule.

Online support
Working with existential and practical approaches online
Nicoleta uses Existential Therapy to help people face big life questions and make meaning from difficult experiences. This approach looks at values, choice and responsibility and can help when people feel lost after loss or major change.She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship. That approach aims to help people feel heard and to explore their thoughts and emotions at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to change behaviour and mood, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose which methods to try, adjust them over time, and check what is helping. Clients are invited to give feedback and change direction when needed.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option, live chat can support shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people write reflections between appointments. These options aim to make therapy flexible around work, travel or family life.
