Andreea Carmen Pop , NCPS

Andreea Carmen Pop is a counsellor with 12 years of practice supporting people through difficult life moments. She is a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), and she aims to make each person feel seen and heard from the first session. Her approach is calm, warm and straightforward. She uses a pluralistic way of working. That means she draws on several evidence-based techniques and picks the methods that suit each person. Sessions are collaborative - the counsellor brings tools and experience, and the client brings their story and goals. People often come for help with stress, anxiety, low mood and grief. She also supports concerns such as trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, attachment and abandonment worries, body image, and feelings of isolation and loneliness. Practical life issues like relationship separation, money stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, and midlife reassessment are also addressed. Language options include English and Romanian, and she works with people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. Meetings can happen by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Her sessions focus on listening, understanding patterns, and building useful skills for day-to-day life. People can expect short-term practical work or longer conversations depending on what they want to achieve. The emphasis is on respectful, steady progress and helping people feel more confident in moving forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Andreea commonly works within a pluralistic model that combines different evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One approach she draws on is cognitive work that helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with clearer, kinder self-talk; this can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. She also uses trauma-informed listening and pacing, which focuses on building safety, understanding past hurts and slowly developing coping skills for people affected by trauma and abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk through options, try methods that match your goals, and adjust the plan as you go. The process is collaborative so decisions are based on your needs, preferences and what you hope to change.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls provide face-to-face conversation when that matters, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging works well for shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats offer flexibility for different schedules and communication styles while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional support.
