About me

Hello, I am Nicoleta and I am a Psychologist, Therapist and Trauma Specialist.

I've started my career as a clinical psychologist over two decades ago and it became apparent to me quite early in my work that psychology was limited in explaining the complexity of our human life and relationships.

Therefore I looked beyond the medical model and I trained extensively in a variety of modalities attaining further qualifications in CBT, Therapeutic Counselling and Integrative Psychotherapy.

My work has evolved over the years and followed my own journey through life which led me to develop great interest in healing relational trauma at both individual and couple level.

In our work together we will aim to safely unpack the luggage from the past, dismantle the  narrative, process the emotions and release the trauma, to free you from suffering and unhealthy patterns and create more room for reparation and relationship renewal.

On the way, you will learn to grow awareness and live a more mindful live, and as you embrace more presence, gratitude and appreciation you will find more clarity and direction in life and gradually open to aliveness and vitality.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

UKCP
UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)

The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.

As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.

UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
