Diana-Gabriela Boicu

I currently have availability for telephone or video counselling sessions, daytime hours before 5pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. 

I am an integrative psychotherapist and registered member of the BACP. Throughout my career I have worked therapeutically with adults with a diverse range of difficulties, such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, obsessive compulsive disorder, bereavement. In addition, I've worked extensively with trauma and PTSD.

My integrative approach to therapy not only reflects my ability to draw from different therapeutic modalities (person-centred, psychodynamic, existential, gestalt, cognitive-behavioural therapy informed, internal family systems informed), but also my endeavour to support clients towards their own personal integration. I strive to help clients to meet, understand and accept within themselves the different and nuanced parts of themselves. I offer respect and empathy to my clients, whilst at the same time gently nudging them towards areas of self-exploration that they may otherwise struggle to look at on their own.

I adapt my approach to fit the needs of my client, and I'm transparent, open and collaborative in my work with clients. I think of our work together as a team effort, and it's always a privilege to be a part of my clients' journey. 

In the first session, we would typically talk about:

- what brought you to therapy, and what your current concerns and difficulties are

- what previous experience you may have had (if any) with counselling or psychotherapy

- your expectations of therapy, and what you feel you would need to get from our work together so that you can fully benefit from it
