About Nicoleta
Nicoleta Porojanu brings 19 years of experience supporting people through major life challenges. She is based in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Nicoleta draws on a wide background in mental health services and private practice to help people facing relationship struggles, grief, trauma and coping with life changes.
Her career has included roles in palliative care, managing residential and supported living mental health services, and offering psychotherapy in private settings. Those roles inform a practical, grounded style that aims to make therapy useful and relatable. She also speaks from lived experience, including surviving childhood trauma and a serious cancer diagnosis.
Nicoleta tends to blend a range of approaches to suit each person. She uses client-centred listening to understand what matters most, cognitive behavioural ideas to tackle unhelpful patterns, and mindfulness to develop present-moment awareness. Jungian and existential perspectives also shape her work with meaning and identity.
People come to her for relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and help with life transitions. Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver strain, codependency, communication and commitment problems, and separation or divorce.
Her way of working is collaborative and paced to the individual. Sessions focus on building self-awareness, managing difficult feelings, and trying small practical changes that fit day-to-day life.

Approaches and how online sessions can help
Nicoleta draws on client-centred therapy to place the person’s experience at the heart of each session. That means a lot of listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can identify what matters most to them.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and trying practical experiments to change them. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood and repetitive patterns in relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Nicoleta plans therapy with each person, matching techniques to their needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and open to change as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue therapy across locations if they move or travel. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can use these ways of working to maintain continuity and help clients keep momentum between sessions.
