Livia Maria Nestianu, BACP

Livia Maria Nestianu works from an integrative counselling approach that adapts to each person's needs. She blends familiar methods like client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and attachment-based ideas to shape sessions around the individual. Livia holds BACP registration, and she draws on five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Her conversations are straightforward and practical. Sessions offer a supportive space to talk about stress, anxiety, mood changes, loss and relationship difficulties. She also helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, addictions, and challenges linked to identity and intimacy.

Beyond those concerns, Livia addresses issues such as ADHD, bipolar and eating difficulties, body image, caregiver stress and chronic illness. She also works with attachment-related worries, abandonment fears, communication and control problems, and blended family dynamics. Her practice includes coaching-style work for career and life transitions.

Her style emphasises understanding how thoughts, feelings and the body interact. Somatic techniques and trauma-focused approaches are used alongside therapeutic conversation to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. The focus is on what will make daily life feel more manageable and meaningful.

People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to explore concerns and set goals. Livia encourages collaboration when choosing methods and keeps the work practical so progress can be noticed between sessions.

How Livia's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that develop in close relationships. It helps people understand how early bonds shape reactions to intimacy, trust and conflict. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, using empathic listening and collaboration to help someone explore what matters and find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work with the client to decide what fits best. That conversation takes account of the client’s goals, preferences and the practicalities of their life. The plan can be adjusted as work progresses so methods remain relevant to the issues you bring.

The original biography does not list session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people choose whether to focus on talking, structured CBT-style exercises, somatic noticing or values-based tasks, depending on what helps most.
