DIANA DUMITRASC

I am a trainee counsellor in London with experience of working in acute mental health settings. My training follows an integrative approach, and draws from the traditions of Gestalt, Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Person Centred; which enables me to therapeutically work with clients experiencing a range of issues affecting their mental health and emotional wellbeing.

I take a holistic, dynamic and intuitive stance in working with people therapeutically, and through my years of experience I have gained understanding of different facets of mental health and personal difficulties that can shape an individual’s human experience and social connections. I encourage creativity in the therapy room, whilst recognizing and embracing uniqueness.

I am passionate about mindfulness, sound healing and art, which means I look at mind-body-soul not as separate, but rather as a whole. I hold a safe, non-judgemental and attentive space where meaningful work can take place to support you on your journey towards healing.  

I am a passionate trainee counsellor with a strong teaching and pastoral care background, dedicated to supporting young people in their personal growth and mental well-being. With years of experience guiding students through academic and personal challenges, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique pressures young people face today.

My integrative counselling approach blends person-centred, psychodynamic, transpersonal, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques, allowing me to provide tailored support that meets each individual's unique needs. I believe that mental health care should be accessible to everyone. Grounded in empathy and a deep commitment to listening and understanding, my work in counselling is focused on creating a safe space where young people can express themselves freely. I strive to provide the support they need to explore their emotions, overcome challenges, and grow into their full potential.  

I offer a collaborative and strengths-based approach, co-creating a space for you to be able to explore yourself emotionally and psychologically, without judgment but instead with empathy, affirmation, support, and compassion. I focus on your frame of reference and commit to your well-being while we are working together. I believe in empowering people to find their strengths and their voice, working alongside clients to develop a better understanding of themselves, who they are and who they want to be, taking in consideration both the individual and the social.

I work integratively, which means I use a number of modalities such as person-centred, solution-focused, psychodynamic, existential, rational-emotive. I am also influenced by ideas within critical psychology, postcolonialism, socialism, and buddhist ideas. As a Filipino-Mexican-American, I bring a unique perspective specifically in aspects of immigration, identity, otherness, self-esteem, racism, confidence, etc. I also work within the NHS and see a varied population with varying issues.
