Nicoleta Porojanu, BACP

Nicoleta Porojanu is a UK-based therapist with 19 years of experience supporting people through relationship struggles, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. She combines professional roles developed across clinical, voluntary, and private settings - including work in palliative care, management of residential and supported living mental health services, and practice as a psychotherapist and counsellor - to offer an informed and compassionate approach to clients.

As a survivor of childhood trauma and of Triple Negative Breast Cancer, she brings personal insight to work with trauma, loss, illness, addiction, depression, anxiety, and a wide range of relational and health-related challenges. Her practice is integrative, drawing on methods from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic and Jungian ideas, narrative and existential work, mindfulness and somatic approaches, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused interventions to tailor support to each person’s needs.

Nicoleta emphasises a holistic process of self-discovery and healing that attends to emotional wounds, attachment and family-of-origin dynamics, communication and relationship patterns, and the practical stresses that accompany caregiving, chronic illness, or major life change. She also shares learning beyond the therapy room as host of the Open To Happiness podcast and founder of the mental health charity The Significant You. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and offers therapy in English, accepting clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
