About Nicoleta
Nicoleta Porojanu is a counsellor with 19 years' experience in mental health and wellbeing. She practised across clinical, voluntary and personal settings and now offers therapeutic support from the United Kingdom. Nicoleta draws on a wide clinical background to help people who feel stuck after loss, relationship strain, illness or other major life changes.
Her work is straightforward and compassionate. She listens carefully and helps people name what is painful.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on building awareness, practical coping skills and clearer thinking about next steps. Nicoleta blends different therapeutic ideas rather than following a single method. She uses Jungian ideas about meaning and symbols, client-centred listening, and cognitive behavioural tools to address thoughts and behaviours.
Mindfulness practices are also included when helpful to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Many people come with trauma, grief or family-related pain. She also supports those facing chronic illness, cancer, caregiver stress, and complex feelings such as emptiness, abandonment or codependency.
Conversations aim to make distress more manageable and to open space for choices about the future. Nicoleta previously worked in palliative care and managed residential mental health services, experience she brings into each session. Outside clinical work she founded a mental health charity and hosts a podcast about wellbeing.
Her approach is practical, warm and focused on what matters to the person sitting in front of her.

Online support
How Jungian ideas and practical therapies work online
Jungian Therapy explores meaning, dreams and personal symbols to help people find deeper understanding of themselves; it can be useful when life feels confusing or when past patterns keep repeating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and trusting the person's own pace and priorities, offering a supportive space to talk through difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. The therapist will work with the person to identify what feels most useful, trying different methods as needed and adjusting the focus to match goals and preferences. This collaborative way helps shape a plan that fits each person's situation.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face experience when that is helpful; phone sessions work well if an audio-only conversation feels easier or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, treatment or daily life while still getting steady therapeutic support.
