About Adriana
Adriana Panait is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family problems, grief, and depression. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, career concerns and coping with life changes, including compassion fatigue and feelings of guilt and shame.
Adriana uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the conversation focused on the person's experience. She listens for what matters most and helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without rushing to solutions. Mindfulness techniques are included when helpful, to support present-moment awareness and reduce overwhelm.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical. Adriana helps clients talk through difficult emotions, sort out relationship patterns, and consider steps they can try between sessions. She also works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, control issues, and the fallout from separation or infidelity.
Adriana speaks English, French and Romanian, which can help when cultural or language context matters to a case. Her work is informed by four years in practice, during which she has supported people facing both everyday stresses and significant life transitions.
People who choose to work with her can expect a conversational approach rooted in client-centred practice and mindfulness. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session formats and timing that best fit their situation.
Approaches used and how online sessions can fit
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the person is feeling. It helps people feel heard and can clarify what matters most when guilt or shame are present. This approach is useful for work on relationships, self-esteem and difficult emotions.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to notice thoughts, body sensations and emotions without reacting immediately. These techniques can reduce the intensity of shame or rumination and support calmer decision-making in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Adriana will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That conversation guides whether sessions emphasise listening, practical steps, mindfulness exercises, or a mix of these elements.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a full in-person session is harder to arrange. Some people find audio-only conversations easier on low-bandwidth connections, while others prefer video for face-to-face interaction. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to practical needs and everyday life.
