About me

As an experienced Integrative Holistic Counsellor, I am dedicated to helping you find clarity, stability, and purpose in your life. Whether you seek individual, couples, or group therapy. I offer a safe, respectful, and confidential space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences at their own pace. My approach is relational, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based methods tailored to each individual’s needs.

I welcome clients from all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, religions, disabilities, cultures, ethnicities, and ages. My approach is flexible and tailored to meet your unique needs, using a systemic holistic method and psychogenealogy to uncover and address patterns of behavior. Together, we will identify and overcome the blockages you are currently facing.

In our sessions, you will feel understood, respected, and valued. You will gain the tools and confidence to make empowered decisions and heal negative patterns. I believe that true health, growth, and happiness stem from meaningful and fulfilling connections with ourselves and others. By revealing the underlying causes of your disturbances, we can focus your efforts on feeling empowered and unlocking your true potential.

I believe therapy is not about “fixing” people, it is about creating space for understanding, acceptance, and transformation. Every client brings their own wisdom, and my role is to walk alongside you, offering curiosity, honesty, and support as you navigate your own process.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ioana Mitrache. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I started therapy feeling burned out, anxious, and on edge all the time. Ioana gave me space to speak honestly without filtering or pretending I was fine. She doesn't patronise, doesn't just nod along. She listens properly and reflects things back in a way that makes you think.

She helped me unpack a lot: childhood stuff, stress, anxiety spirals and understand how it’s all connected. It’s still early days, but I already feel like I’m getting stronger, calmer, and more able to handle life without snapping or shutting down.
