Adriana Panait , BACP

Adriana Panait is a counsellor who focuses on women's issues and common life stresses. She works with people feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed by grief, or struggling with relationships and family strain. Adriana speaks English, French and Romanian to support diverse clients in the United Kingdom.

She uses a straightforward, person-centred way of working. Conversations are shaped around each person's needs, and Adriana will help set goals together. Sessions are practical and calm, with attention to how feelings and day-to-day choices link together.

Adriana also brings mindfulness into sessions to help people notice thoughts and bodily experience without judgement. This can be useful for anxiety, rumination, or when emotions feel intense. Mindfulness practices are kept short and adapted to fit busy lives.

Her background includes four years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration indicates adherence to national professional standards in the UK.

People who meet her can expect an open, respectful space to talk through challenges such as self-esteem, intimacy concerns, or career uncertainty. Adriana pays attention to issues like attachment, body image, and compassion fatigue when they come up in conversation.

She supports clients through change and loss, helping them find practical ways to cope and make clearer decisions. The style is collaborative and paced to each person's readiness to change.

Approaches that work online and in session

Adriana uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience first. This way of working focuses on listening, understanding and responding to what matters most to the person. It is helpful for exploring relationship concerns, self-esteem and family-related issues.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These short exercises help reduce worry and increase awareness of thoughts and body sensations, often easing anxiety and emotional overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is part of the journey. Adriana will work together with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques are adapted over time to suit how someone progresses.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a lunch break. Live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to access therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
