Mihai Diaconescu

Mihai Diaconescu is a psychotherapist and coach based in London, deeply committed to guiding individuals toward mental, emotional, and spiritual freedom. His therapeutic practice is rooted in a phenomenological, embodied, and relational model that nurtures self-awareness, mental balance, and authentic decision-making, encouraging a life lived with inner alignment and self-consent.

The therapy offered integrates psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy, drawing from existential analysis, logotherapy, gestalt therapy, somatic therapy, breathwork, psychedelic-assisted therapy integration, internal family systems (IFS), non-violent communication (NVC), and spiritual teachings such as Tibetan Buddhism and Kashmir Shaivism. Therapy explores embodied experiences alongside cognitive insights, aiming to transcend trauma, cognitive biases, and emotional dysregulation to reclaim authentic values and purpose.

Overview

Mihai Diaconescu works predominantly with adults, couples, families, groups, and young or older adults. The work blends long-term and shorter-term therapeutic approaches including face-to-face, online, phone, home visits, and outdoor therapy. Sessions are integrative and tailored, focusing on existential themes like safety, belonging, authenticity, freedom, self-worth, and purpose. The first session establishes a safe and empathetic space to start exploring these core areas collaboratively.
