Adriana Panait, BACP

Adriana Panait is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and grief. She works with individuals trying to cope with life changes and rebuild self-esteem. Adriana aims to meet each person where they are and offers a calm, respectful space to talk.

Adriana holds BACP registration, which is a UK counselling credential. She has four years of hands-on experience supporting people through difficult transitions. Her work often covers family difficulties, intimacy concerns, career stress and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she focuses on listening first and tailoring the conversation to what matters to the client. She uses client-centred techniques to follow the client’s lead and mindfulness practices to help with stress and grounding. The sessions are practical and conversational rather than academic.

Adriana pays attention to issues such as attachment and abandonment, communication and commitment problems, and the effects of isolation and shame. She also supports people dealing with divorce or separation and challenges connected to immigration and identity.

Her approach is straightforward: listen, understand the immediate problem, and try small, workable steps that fit into everyday life. She encourages people to take manageable steps towards clearer choices and better day-to-day coping. If you are unsure whether this feels like a fit, she recommends beginning with a short matching questionnaire to find out more.

How Adriana uses client-centred and mindfulness work online

Adriana uses client-centred methods that focus on what the person brings to the session. This approach means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s priorities, helping them talk through issues such as relationship strain, career stress or grief. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside this work to teach simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce anxiety and increase calm in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Adriana will work with the person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That process is collaborative - she helps people try techniques and then adjusts the approach based on what works for them.

The original biography does not state specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins when a shorter meeting is useful. It also means people can try conversations from a familiar routine and then explore what helps most in day-to-day life.
