Background and approach
She aims to make techniques clear so people can use them between sessions. Her work often focuses on issues like trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar concerns, grief and addiction-related struggles. She also supports people dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue, relationship and intimacy-related problems, eating and body-image concerns, anger and low self-esteem.
Additional areas include attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiver stress and chronic illness or pain. Livia speaks English and Romanian and works with adults in the United Kingdom. Her background in psychology informs the way she blends theory and practice.
The BACP credential listed is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. In sessions she helps people explore their patterns, practise simple skills and notice physical responses in the body. The aim is to help people find ways of coping, make decisions about next steps and rebuild a sense of balance over time.

How online approaches and practical therapy work together
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes because it focuses on living despite difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand connection and trust in relationships. Client-Centred Therapy offers a non-judgemental, person-focused space where the counsellor listens and follows the client’s pace.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will pick or blend methods and adjust as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and responsive.
Online therapy includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. Video lets people read facial cues and use visual tools, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in, while messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility and steady access to therapy from different places and routines.
