Livia Maria Nestianu , BACP

Livia Maria Nestianu is a counsellor who blends practical talking therapies to suit each person. She uses straightforward, person-focused work to help people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and life changes. She draws on five years of practice and a background in psychology. That mix helps her offer clear, simple ways to manage symptoms and cope with hard moments. People raise issues such as trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and body image struggles, addictions, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Sessions centre on the person rather than a fixed method. Livia uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy where thinking patterns and values are central. She also works with attachment ideas and somatic tools to include how the body stores stress. Livia is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. She offers therapy in English and Romanian and works with people based in the United Kingdom. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. The booking process uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and sessions are scheduled according to therapist availability. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Clients are invited to set aims, try short exercises between sessions, and review progress as they go. The focus is on reducing distress and helping people build more workable day-to-day routines.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and build small actions that match those values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and when life changes make choices feel hard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours through practical exercises, which suits worries, low mood and repetitive cycles of thought. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early patterns in relationships and how they shape current connections; this approach can help with intimacy issues, abandonment fears and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Decisions about methods are made collaboratively and can change as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work and family life. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls need less bandwidth and can be a good check-in, while messaging and chat offer brief, flexible contact between sessions. These options help people access consistent support even when travel or schedules are difficult.
