I work both online and in person. 

I prioritise building trust as the foundation of our work together. This allows for authentic exploration of both challenges and possibilities, knowing you're fully supported. I invite you to take part in a co-creative process where we work together to navigate your unique journey.

My approach honors exactly where you are in this moment while gently holding space for what could be. I recognise your innate capacity for growth and transformation, even when it might feel distant.

I bring my full empathy and presence to each session, attuning to your experience with warmth and genuine care. I listen not just to your words, but to what lies beneath them.

When beneficial, I offer thoughtful challenges that invite new perspectives and growth edges. These moments of gentle confrontation often reveal the most profound insights.

My practice is grounded in a relational approach that recognises the subtle field we create together. I attend to the dynamics between us, the energetic shifts within sessions, and the relational patterns that emerge as meaningful doorways to healing.

My work blends psychological depth, tracing the root cause of your distress alongside explorations of purpose and meaning. The goal isn't just to solve the presenting issues but to help you become more whole - connecting your everyday self with your deeper potential. 

Drawing on almost 15 years of leadership experience, I bring a distinctive perspective to my therapeutic practice. I specialised in learning and development, coaching individuals and teams across all levels. I led organisational wellbeing strategies, consulted wellbeing businesses and developed my own coaching programme. I gained invaluable clinical experience working within the NHS, counseling a diverse range of patients. I am also a Gallup certified Clifton Strenghts Coach, helping people develop their talents and optimise their accomplishments. I obtained my counselling qualification at The Psychosynthesis Trust, my modality is psychosynthesis. 

Whether you're seeking healing, transformation or deeper self-understanding, I provide a space where all aspects of human experience are welcome and valued.

Once we make contact, we'll arrange an initial 20-minute call - the first step in our potential work together. This initial conversation provides a space for us to connect, where you can share what brings you to therapy and explore any questions about my approach or the therapeutic process.

This first meeting helps us both determine if we're a good fit for working together.

If we choose to work together, we'll establish a clear therapeutic agreement. This includes confidentiality terms, our agreed schedule and cancelation policy. We typically begin with an initial timeframe of 8 weeks, giving us both a natural point to review our work together.

After our initial 8 weeks, you can choose to conclude therapy or continue on an open-ended basis, depending on your needs and progress.

Flexible, I work both in person and online

I am Ioana, a qualified therapist trained at the Psychosynthesis Trust. What makes psychosynthesis distinct from other modalities is how it blends psychological work with explorations of purpose and meaning. The goal isn't just to solve the presenting issues but to help you become more whole - address psychological trauma and connect your everyday self with your deeper potential.

Through my own journey in therapy, I've discovered that transformation takes root precisely in those uncomfortable spaces we most want to avoid. When we learn to sit with and befriend our pain, shame, and fear rather than pushing them away, these seemingly dark corners often reveal themselves as incredible opportunities for growth. This philosophy guides my work as a therapist, helping others discover that what feels most alienating about themselves is, paradoxically, what connects them most deeply to our shared human experience.

Whether you're seeking to work on specific current issues or seeking healing, transformation or deeper self-understanding, I provide a space where all aspects of human experience are welcome and valued.

I work both short term and long term depending on your needs.
