About Bianca
Bianca Barbu helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and parenting worries. She also supports those facing grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. Bianca works in a warm, non-judgemental way so people can speak openly about what is hard for them.
She uses her six years of UK practice and her BACP registration to guide practical, down-to-earth conversations. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small steps that make a difference.
How Bianca works
She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps name them so change becomes clearer. Bianca draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas to understand how past connections affect current feelings. She also uses trauma-focused methods when painful experiences need careful attention.
Systemic thinking helps when family and relationship patterns are part of the problem. In a session she offers steady presence and straightforward reflection. People can expect to be heard, to try new ways of relating to themselves, and to practise tools that reduce distress.
Bianca aims to make therapy something that fits everyday life, not another source of pressure. Those who contact her are guided through simple next steps and supported as they try changes between sessions. The work is collaborative and paced to suit each person’s needs.

Online support options
How her approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It helps when trust, intimacy or emotional closeness feel difficult by identifying connection styles and offering new ways to respond. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the session and relies on empathic listening and acceptance to help people find their own solutions and build self-understanding.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss the different methods, ask about personal goals and preferences, and agree on a plan that feels manageable. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift or progress is made.
Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a short check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing, want flexibility across the day, or need a low-key way to start. These options help people fit therapy into their routines and keep continuity between appointments.
