About Michaela
Michaela Grecu is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She holds the NCPS credential and combines several therapeutic approaches to suit each person she meets. Michaela speaks English and Romanian and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
She aims for a straightforward and respectful style. Sessions are collaborative and non-judgemental. Michaela listens for what matters to the client and adapts the methods she uses to match those needs.
Background and approach
Her work covers common concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and addictions. She also supports people dealing with career questions, sleep or eating problems, parenting strain, anger, and other life changes. Michaela draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness, existential questions and hypnotherapy techniques.
She explains thoughts, behaviours and feelings in simple terms and helps clients try different strategies between sessions. Appointments can be short or longer term and paced to what feels right. The focus is practical: notice patterns, test small changes, and build skills for day-to-day life.
Michaela helps people develop clearer choices, greater resilience and more satisfying routines.

How her therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and on listening to what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and clarifies personal goals so sessions can be shaped around them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage mood.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple, present-moment practices to reduce stress and increase attention to daily life. It can support coping with rumination, emotional reactivity and low mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and adapt techniques based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods may change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video gives face-to-face interaction, phone can fit into a short break or needs less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging works for ongoing, flexible exchanges. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel.
