Nicoleta Porojanu , BACP

Nicoleta Porojanu is a London-based therapist with 19 years of experience in mental health and wellbeing across clinical, voluntary, and private settings. Her professional background includes roles in palliative care, managing residential and supported living mental health services, and providing psychotherapy and counselling in private practice, experiences that have shaped an integrative and practical approach to care.

She speaks from both professional training and personal experience, including surviving childhood trauma and Triple Negative Breast Cancer, which informs her interest in trauma, relationships, addiction, depression, anxiety, and the many ways social and physical health interact with emotional wellbeing. Nicoleta works with people facing relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, major life changes, and challenges such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication and control issues, domestic violence, and separation.

Her style is caring and compassionate, blending Client-Centered work with elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential and Jungian ideas, and Mindfulness practices to support self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. She offers a holistic, integrative process that draws on a range of tools and interventions to help clients unpack wounds, process trauma, repair relationships, and move toward greater balance and fulfilment. Nicoleta is registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and provides therapy in English in the United Kingdom.

She welcomes clients who want to begin inner work, build awareness, and find clearer direction in life.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing and connection

Nicoleta integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Mindfulness practices to support clients working online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgmental, empathic space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to deepen self-understanding and strengthen emotional resilience - it is helpful for relationship issues, grief, and navigating life transitions. CBT offers practical tools to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and managing trauma-related symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and breathing or attention practices that can reduce reactivity and support coping with chronic illness, pain, and stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Nicoleta works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which methods fit best and how to adapt them for online work.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or while travelling, and integrate therapeutic work into everyday life.
