About Livia
Livia Maria Nestianu is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, ADHD and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and Romanian.
Her background is in psychology and she describes herself as an integrative counsellor. She blends several methods to fit the person in the room rather than following a single model. That means sessions can include talking through thought patterns, looking at attachment dynamics, and noticing how the body responds to stress.
In practice she uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Somatic Therapy. These are mixed into a practical way of working aimed at reducing unhelpful patterns and improving day-to-day coping. Techniques might include noticing triggers, practising new responses, and reflecting on how relationships shape feelings.
She lists a wide range of concerns she helps with, from career or life changes to compassion fatigue and chronic health challenges. Anger is one of the named focus areas, alongside issues like intimacy, body image and commitment difficulties.
To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and are billed via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to someone and taking small actions towards those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It can help with anger linked to avoidance, rumination or rigid rules about how things should be.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how they shape reactions now. For someone whose anger is triggered by feeling abandoned, misunderstood or controlled, this work explores those relational roots and how to respond differently.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and test different behaviours. It is useful for spotting the thoughts that escalate frustration and for practising calmer responses in real situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to emphasise. That collaborative selection can change as therapy progresses and as practical needs evolve.
Check the session options before you book, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use this flexibility to help people practise tools in everyday life without requiring long trips to appointments.
