About Livia
Livia Maria Nestianu is a counsellor who blends practical approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and life changes. She trained first in psychology and now draws on that background to guide conversations that feel grounded and useful.
Her style is flexible and individual. She adapts methods such as client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to suit each person. Sessions aim to give space to talk openly about difficult experiences and to try ways of managing distress in daily life.
Over five years of practice, she has supported people with mood difficulties, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles such as addiction or eating issues. She also works with attachment and abandonment issues, ADHD, autism and other overlapping challenges that affect how people connect and cope.
Livia lists Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work and somatic approaches among the methods she uses. These can help with trauma, managing intense emotions, and building new ways to relate to thoughts and feelings.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works from the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian. To begin, people follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that suits them.
How Livia uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they show up now; it helps with intimacy, abandonment concerns and building stronger ways to connect. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own pace and priorities, offering a supportive space where they lead the topics and the counsellor follows their experience.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Livia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That means reviewing what helps, trying things out, and adapting as progress unfolds.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video helpful for face-to-face feeling, while others prefer an audio call to reduce bandwidth or to focus on listening. Discussing practical arrangements during the initial scheduling helps ensure sessions suit everyday life and commitments.
