Mihaela Rosca

I'm a registered integrative counsellor and coach working with a range of challenges including low self-esteem, work related stress, generalised anxiety (including social anxiety), depression, relationship challenges, grief and loss (whether related to bereavement or a life change), among others.

You can find a full list of matters I can support with in the Areas of counselling I deal with section below. The list is not exhaustive. 

Life's ups and downs might have left you feeling overwhelmed, alone or stuck, but you don't need to handle everything on your own. 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. 

Clients say they leave the sessions lighter, calmer, more confident in themselves, with a new understanding of their challenges and how to manage these challenges.

I work with you to help you develop new resources and skills that fit where and who you are in the present moment. For example, techniques to manage anxiety or strategies to communicate and establish healthy boundaries.

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.

If you have any questions or would like to book a consultation with me then I would like to welcome you to send me an email here. 

I work with English and Romanian speaking clients. Daca iti este mai usor sa te exprimi in romana, sau vrei sa folosesti romana si engleza pe parcursul terapiei, pot lucra cu tine in modul asta. Ca sa beneficiezi de sedintele de terapie este important sa te simti in largul tau. Daca vrei sa lucrezi cu mine, contacteaza-ma si programam o sedinta telefonica gratuita de 15 min pe care o vom folosi sa ne cunoastem, sa iti raspund la intrebari legate de terapie si sa programam o evaluare.

What to expect once we connect 

After you connect with me, we will arrange an initial 15 min video call which allows you to ask any questions you have before booking your consultation session. Please note: a consultation session is not a therapy session.

The consultation lasts an hour, and during this session, I ask more detailed questions about what has brought you to counselling, and then we decide how you would like to proceed. There will be no obligation to book another appointment. For you to gain the most from your sessions, it is important that you feel comfortable working with me.

You can find more about my working days, areas of work and fees if you scroll down on this page.

Moving forward 

Once you decide to work with me, we will arrange a weekly time to fit with our availability. The number of sessions is flexible around your needs. We will review our work periodically to assess what these needs are as our work progresses.

My therapeutic approach

I work holistically and aim to build a collaborative, non-judgmental, confidential, safe space for you to explore whatever brings you to therapy. My integrative approach to therapy allows me to draw from several therapeutic modalities so that I can tailor the counselling process to your unique situation and individual needs. We can't control life, but we can manage how we respond to it.

I see my role as supporting you in finding your own meaning and flow in life. Whether you want to explore your present or your past, or perhaps you need support with achieving your aspirations, my counselling, therapeutic and coaching professional training allows me to adjust my work to your therapeutic goals.

Loss and grief are part and parcel of the human experience. Regardless of gender, age, race, or social status, we all experience loss, in one form or another, throughout our lifetime. I have a particular interest in supporting people going through the grief process. My interest in working with grief and loss has led me to volunteer in an elderly care ward with Imperial Charity and train with Cruse Bereavement Services.

As an expat, I understand the experience of adjusting to a new culture, the challenges that might arise from unrooting oneself from the country of origin and building a new life in a new country. Some aspects that often require attention when working with expat experiences are identity, self-esteem, self-worth, impostor’s syndrome, status, self-sabotaging, and inner critic.

I offer a free phone/video call of up to 30 min.

I also offer a limited number of slots for online sessions at a sliding scale fee for clients on low income. Get in touch to check availability.

I am delighted to announce that I am now offering discounted online counselling sessions specifically tailored to support interpreters. Drawing from my own experience as a former interpreter, I deeply empathize with the unique challenges and stresses that this profession entails, which can significantly impact interpreters' well-being. Therefore, my aim is to offer a safe and empathetic space where fellow interpreters can openly explore their emotions, navigate the pressures inherent in their work, and work towards achieving a more balanced and fulfilling life. 

If you are an interpreter in need of support, get in touch using the form on this page.
