THERAPY IN ENGLISH · BUCHAREST & ONLINE
Living abroad can bring new possibilities — and leave you feeling unsettled in ways you did not expect.
Whether you are an expat in Bucharest, part of an international team or simply prefer therapy in English, you do not need to have everything figured out before getting in touch.
I’m Sabina Dumitrescu, a psychologist and integrative psychotherapist. I offer native-level English and experience working with people from different cultural backgrounds.

WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE?
A new country can change more than your address. Familiar routines, friendships and your sense of belonging may shift too. Our conversations can focus on what the transition means for you, without assuming there is one right way to adapt.
You may feel caught in the same arguments, distant from someone important or unsure how to express what you need. There is space to explore relationships, expectations and boundaries, including differences across cultures.
Perhaps work is taking up more of your life than you want, or a career that once felt right no longer does. We can explore the pressures you face, what matters to you and the choices ahead.
My approach is integrative: I adapt our work to you rather than expecting you to fit a single model.
We start with your circumstances, your priorities and what you would like to understand or change. We agree on goals together and revisit them as our work develops.
You are welcome to ask questions about the approach, the pace and whether working together feels right for you.
My background includes organisational psychology and work in multicultural and international environments. I have worked on assessment centres and development centres for leading multinational companies, alongside training in communication, collaboration and leadership.
This experience gives me a grounded understanding of professional life: diverse teams, changing roles, high expectations and workplace relationships. In therapy, it helps me understand the connections between your personal life, career and organisational context.
YOUR FIRST SESSION
The first appointment is a conversation about what has brought you here and what you hope to get from our work. It is also a chance to get to know me and ask practical questions. We discuss whether the service is a suitable fit and agree on possible next steps. There is no fixed programme or promised outcome.
