About Michaela
Michaela Grecu is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She holds an NCPS credential and uses a blend of talking therapies to help people tackle everyday problems. Michaela keeps sessions straightforward and respectful.
She aims to build a working relationship where clients feel heard and able to make changes. Michaela trained in psychology and completed postgraduate diplomas in hypnotherapy and psychotherapy and counselling. She combines several approaches so the work fits the person rather than forcing one method.
Background and approach
That can mean using practical skills from cognitive behavioural therapy, gentle exploration of meaning, or focused relaxation techniques when useful. Clients often come with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, grief, addiction concerns, sleep or eating difficulties, or struggles with life changes. She also supports people dealing with attachment or abandonment worries, communication problems, impulsivity, isolation and related issues.
Sessions aim to be realistic and solution-focused when that is helpful. Michaela explains things in plain language and works at a pace the client chooses. She offers a mix of short-term and longer-term work depending on goals.
Together, therapist and client set practical steps and review progress as therapy continues. Her style is collaborative and non-judgemental. The emphasis is on understanding thoughts, behaviours and feelings so clients can make more satisfying choices in relationships, work and home life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Michaela uses Client-Centred Therapy to put the person's experience at the heart of sessions. That approach focuses on listening closely, reflecting feelings and helping people find their own solutions. It suits worries about self-esteem, relationships and coping with life changes.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT provides practical tools such as thought records and behavioural experiments that can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or tackle unhelpful habits.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michaela collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences, and she reviews this as therapy progresses so adjustments can be made together.
Online therapy gives flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat works for shorter check-ins and text messaging suits ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and daily routines while still using the same therapeutic techniques.
