About Oana
Oana Chiru is a counsellor with 15 years' experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains and grief. She works with individuals seeking clearer self-understanding, better connection with others, or practical ways to manage difficult life changes. Sessions are offered in English, French and Romanian, and she accepts international clients.
Oana uses an integrative approach that draws on several therapies rather than one fixed method. That means she adapts sessions to fit what each person needs, mixing talking, reflective work and evidence-informed techniques. She aims for a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through issues and find new ways forward.
Her practice includes support for mood concerns such as depression and bipolar features, anxiety and stress, and problems around sleep, eating and addiction. She also addresses relational topics like intimacy, communication and commitment struggles, plus longer-standing difficulties such as attachment, abandonment and codependency.
Oana also works with trauma-related difficulty and uses trauma-focused methods when appropriate. This can include techniques to help process distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily life. She blends those approaches with acceptance-based work and person-centred listening to meet practical goals.
People can expect a collaborative process. Oana will help clarify goals, try different ways of working, and check in about what feels useful. Sessions are arranged through the service's booking flow, and frequency or length can be discussed directly with her.
Approaches that guide online work
Oana draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-driven actions, often useful for anxiety, stress and coping with change. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, offering attentive listening and empathic reflection so people can explore feelings and find their own solutions.She treats approach selection as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different methods, and agree what feels most helpful. Change is paced to the person's needs and preferences rather than imposed from the outset.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and reduce travel time. They can also allow for shorter check-ins or longer exploratory sessions depending on schedules. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the exact online and in-person options before booking. Registered and accredited professionals aim to work in ways that suit practical needs, such as arranging sessions around work or caring commitments.
