Michaela Grecu , NCPS

Michaela Grecu is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She holds NCPS credentials and brings a calm, collaborative style to sessions. Michaela speaks English and Romanian and adapts her work to the person in front of her.

Michaela trained in psychology and completed postgraduate diplomas in hypnotherapy and psychotherapy and counselling. She follows the code of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, which guides her ethical practice. Her background means she draws on a number of methods rather than one fixed model.

In sessions she aims to be respectful and non-judgemental. She works with practical problems such as stress, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns. She also helps with relationship issues, self-esteem, career decisions, grief and the after-effects of trauma and abuse.

Michaela uses a pluralistic stance, tailoring methods to each person's needs. That can mean talking through patterns of thought and behaviour, using mindfulness exercises, or exploring deeper beliefs about meaning and choice. She may also offer hypnotherapy techniques where appropriate.

People looking for support with women’s issues will find her comfortable discussing body image, intimacy concerns, parenting strain and challenges with identity. Sessions can be short term or longer, and she works at a pace chosen by the person attending. Her aim is to help people build clearer perspectives and practical coping skills.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Michaela commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions; it can help with self-esteem, relationship issues and life decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage mood.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Michaela will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit those aims. Together they check what helps and adjust the approach as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for in-depth discussion and face-to-face connection, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options let people fit sessions around work, family commitments and travel, while keeping continuity of care with the same counsellor.
