I'm Simona - coach, clinical psychologist, psychotherapist in training, and consultant for organizations.

My biggest joy is in working with people and organizations, helping them explore their path, find meaning, and live with authenticity and courage.

My story

Before my professional conversion toward psychology and coaching, I studied political sciences and business communication. For 13 years, I've worked across multiple sectors: in business, NGOs, and public administration. I acted as a community builder, MarCom & CSR professional, program manager, and researcher. In 2019 I decided to explore my own path and become a psychologist and coach. In my private practice, I work with individuals in coaching and counseling, while I am still in training to become a transactional analysis and cognitive behavioral-oriented psychotherapist.

Studies and certifications

I hold a degree in psychology from Titu Maiorescu University and a master's degree in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies from University of Bucharest. I also completed over 2 years of training in transactional analysis at the Yorkshire Training Center International, and I am currently in training as a cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist. I am an accredited psychologist (ID 29125), certified coach (Mind Learners School, 2021) and ANC accredited trainer. I also took several specialty courses (attachment theory, treatment adherence, neurobiology, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Program - MBSR®, etc.). Beyond formal studies, I am fascinated by human nature and love working with people. I do this with empathy, patience and without judgment.
