Counselling in Oldbury

Thanks for being here. Whether you're starting therapy for the first time, or taking the next step along the path, reaching out takes courage and what ever your reasons for seeking therapy, I’m here to support you in a compassionate, affirming and safe way.
 I'm an integrative therapeutic counsellor and my approach is collaborative, non-judgemental and trauma informed. This means tailoring the way we work to your experience, needs and goals, using a variety of tools and approaches.

Hello, if you are struggling at the moment then give me a call to discuss how I can help you. Together, we will explore your current problems, how they started, and how they are maintained. Once we have this understanding together we create a plan, one that works towards whats important to you, your aims and your goals.

You have made it this far because you have realised that this issue is now causing you emotional or psychological pain.  You owe it to yourself to take the next step and go and reach out for help whether it be with myself or another therapist.  Don't let yourself down any longer,  I wish you well and know from my own experience a little more awareness can create in you the healing you ache for. I will provide a unique tailored therapy that is yours alone.

My interest in psychotherapy, spirituality and meditation began after the end of my marriage several years ago, which like many other types of losses, triggered a lot of suffering. ​Life transition, family and friends losses, the breakup of long-term relationships, stress, anxiety and depression are all part of human suffering. However, we have an innate capability, which we can strengthen, that allows us to navigate and, more importantly, learn from our most difficult life experiences.

I am an experienced and compassionate trauma-informed humanistic integrative psychotherapist with over 10 years of dedicated service to helping individuals of all ages. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working in diverse settings, including as a university counselor, with refugees, in medical insurance, and in NHS settings. This breadth of experience has allowed me to develop a comprehensive understanding of a wide range of presenting problems.My approach to therapy is deeply rooted in evidence-based practices, drawing from fields such as neuroscience and somatic practices.

Life can be so challenging when you're struggling - You may be doing your best to navigate your way through a difficult and traumatic life event or be struggling with past experiences, feeling low or a bit lost. Perhaps you are overwhelmed with anxiety or have behavioural patterns that you just can't seem to break the pattern of. During these times, the future can be so very difficult to see, even the next step ahead can become unclear. You don't need to struggle alone anymore. This is your first step towards feeling better and I am so glad you are here. Something will grow from all you are going through and it will be YOU.

Hello! I am Mihaela, a registered integrative counsellor and coach specialising in working with loss and grief, life transitions and relationships, and working also with other presentations such as anxiety and depression. Clients who have worked with me say that I have helped them develop a greater sense of self-awareness, self-worth, empathy for themselves and others, and a greater ability to navigate life's ebbs and flows. Working with me, you can expect to deepen your understanding of yourself, the unique resources and skills you possess, how these might support you and what else you need in order to get where you want to go.

My clients appreciate my holistic approach to mental health. Their goal is usually to find their authentic selves, to become more self aware and to thrive and find joy and purpose, not just survive and settle for a life that is not working for them. I offer therapy to everyone because we all want to be seen, heard and understood and that is often at the very heart of Healing.

But there is hope. You are not doomed to eternally endure your symptoms. It is possible to understand and tame your pain to regain a fulfilling life. I use a holistic mind-body approach to help you free yourself from pain.

I have been lucky enough in my career to date to work with some incredibly inspiring and brave individuals who have been at a crossroads in their life. Sometimes making change felt frightening or impossible due to past beliefs, stuck patterns of behaviour or limiting thought processes. Others were struggling to move on after devastation, illness, loss or identity crisis. I believe it is a privilege to be able to guide those in need at these times due to the courage and vulnerability they show. They are asking from the heart for a new beginning - to break from the past, not feel scared by the future and live truly in the present.
