About me:
My Background:
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked for over a decade as a social worker supporting children and families. That experience taught me the power of compassionate listening, patience, and the importance of feeling seen.
I trained at the Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy and hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy (Level 7) and started practicing in 2022.
I'm a member of the BACP and currently working towards UKCP registration.
​
My training included also at least four years of personal psychotherapy, helping me understand the importance of empathy and self-awareness in supporting others.
​
How I work:
​
I believe we all carry stories shaped by our early experiences, relationships, and the roles we learned to play. In therapy, we gently look at these stories with curiosity and care—not to judge them, but to understand how they continue to influence your life today.
Using an integrative approach grounded in Transactional Analysis, I draw on trauma-informed and existential principles to help you reconnect with who you are underneath the anxiety, low self-esteem, or emotional distress.
There’s no pressure to be anyone but yourself. We move at your pace.
​
How Therapy with Me Feels:
Clients often tell me they feel truly seen and heard—perhaps for the first time. I provide a steady, non-judgmental presence where we can explore your story together.
You don’t need to have the words yet. We can begin with whatever you’re carrying.
I offer both face-to-face sessions in Preston and online therapy for clients across the UK.
​
In addition to English, I also speak fluent Romanian.
