Adriana Panait

Adriana Panait offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by relationships, grief, stress or low mood. She helps clients talk through anxiety, family conflict, body image worries and the strain of big life changes. Her manner is respectful and warm, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is nervous about starting therapy.

Adriana uses a client-centred way of working, which means conversations are guided by the client’s needs and pace. She also draws on mindfulness approaches that can help people notice thoughts and emotions without being swept away by them. Together she and the client shape practical steps to tackle day-to-day problems like communication difficulties or coping with loss.

She has four years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Adriana tailors sessions to each person and keeps language simple and direct. This can include focusing on attachment or abandonment concerns, problem-solving around commitment or control issues, and addressing feelings of guilt, shame or isolation.

Sessions can also explore relationship strains such as infidelity or separation, and practical matters like career stress or immigration-related worries. She speaks English, French and Romanian, which can help when cultural background shapes how someone experiences distress.

If you are uncertain about starting, Adriana aims to make the process clear and steady. The work is collaborative and paced to what the client can manage.

How client-centred and mindfulness approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. It aims to create a space where the client sets the agenda and feels heard, which can be helpful for relationship worries, low self-esteem or family tension.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations without getting caught up in them. These techniques can ease anxiety, reduce rumination about past hurts and support coping during grief or major life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to agree what to try first and will adjust methods based on progress, needs and personal preference. This helps keep sessions relevant and manageable.

The practical benefits of online therapy make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to schedule sessions around work or childcare. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices to suit a variety of everyday situations.
