More about Livia
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
Prior to my counselling and psychotherapy training, my background was in psychology. I am an integrative psychotherapist, adapting to your individuality by blending multiple methods and theories including (but not limited to) person-centered therapy, attachment theory, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and compassion-focused therapy.
Sessions will provide a non-judgmental, empathetic, and confidential space where you feel able to explore more of yourself and share any difficulties you are experiencing, as this facilitates achieving your therapeutic goals.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Livia Nestianu is nothing less than the best. She is with an ever so gentle hand guiding me through the most difficult time in my life. And that with a huge amount of professionalism paired with empathy. I am greatful for having the opportunity to work with her. It makes all the difference to have her expertise and support on this journey.
Livia is extremely patient and empathetic. She has helped me to identify the main things I want to work on, and provies me with frameworkds that help these issues feel approachable. She even provides me with additional ressources that allow me to reflect and learn more about these topics.
I have been working with Livia for about a year. The amount of progress I have made with the support of therapy sessions with her has been huge. Livia is an incredibly attentive listener and speaking with her feels very natural and easy. Livia holds the space in such a way that I am able to easily relax and reflect on situations in ways I would find difficult to do alone. She provides practical tools and advice I can easily incorporate into my life. I am so grateful to have been matched with such a skilled and compassionate therapist.
She might be the best person alive to have in your corner. Knowledgeable, compassionate and a professional gem. After a few sessions I'm getting results above and beyond what I thought possible only a couple of weeks back. Thank you!
Livia really helped me through a tough time, I really made some progress through our session. I can’t recommend her enough, she asked me some challenging questions that made me think and grow.
Livia is a wonderful therapist. She works in a very adaptive way during our sessions and helps me to feel empowered as a client. She provides really thoughtful insights and resources, which help me to deepen my understanding and exploration of my experiences. I come out of sessions feeling heard, understood, and valued. It is a hugely beneficial experience to have therapy with her. Thank you for all of your help and support Livia, you are amazing.
Livia is absolutely fantastic. I feel listened to and supported in each session. She is so knowledgable and adapts my treatment well when challenges come up. I feel like I have gained a lot of understanding from working with her. Each session feels like such a gently guided journey and I feel in very safe hands working with her. I would hugely recommend Livia.
Livia is a great listener. She is kind and compassionate and asks thought provoking questions to get to the heart of the matter. She gives tools and advice for growth. She is intuitive in her therapy approach and she makes sure to focus on the areas that I want to grow in.
Livia is an amazing listener. She makes me feel comfortable.
She seems to listen and understand the issues I'm facing and responds in a professional manner. I would like more guidance and advice but I understand all she can do is educate and let the person decide how to proceed. I've chosen to split with the mother of my children after 5 years together so I'm trying to adjust to my new life and not resist the temptation to go back, I believe I was with a narcissistic, manipulating partner and the only real way to escape the misery is quit with my ex
Livia has been great, highly recommended
Livia is very kind and understanding which is just what I needed in my journey. I have had a bad experience with therapy but I am appreciating my feelings being listened to and to understand the processes behind it
I think she is great. She offers great insights and is gentle and thoughtful. She has a great wealth of knowledge and I feel comfortable around which is important
