ABOUT ME
​
​
I'm Iulia Popescu. And...
​
My aim is to assist you in transforming any state of confusion into one of clarity, disorientation into a sense of direction, and chaos into a structured and organised approach.
The way the human mind works, our behavior, needs, and emotions have always been my fascination.
You can perceive me as a gardener planting seeds of awareness and introspection in your mind's rich soil. Together , we explore behaviours, needs, and emotions with interest, commitment, and unconditional acceptance. I guide you to discover your inner world and encourage you to go deep inside, until you reach your roots - to identify solutions and your healing source.
​
I create a safe and healthy relationship environment. I guide you to manage your emotions and feelings, so that you can grow and rise regardless of the conditions of your surrounding environment.I completely understand that you might not be here because you want to be rather that you know you need to be.
​
.
I am a supporter of well-being and transformation. With me, you:
​
-
will overcome your individual emotional problems,
​
-
will become YOU again,
​
-
will enjoy the relationships with those around you, while cultivating them beautifully
​
-
will feel that you are regaining control, that you are capable, worthy and good enough
I dedicated more than 10 years to transformational processes to help you overcome blockages, succeed in controlling your fears, improve your relationships and identify which are your true values .
​
I have always been passionate about psychology and I was lucky enough to discover my vocation at an early age. I read everything I could get my hands on about emotions, behaviors and needs, and in 2016 I obtain a Bachelor Degree in Psychology at the "Titu Maiorescu" University in Bucharest.
​
I specialised in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for two years at the AHPCC. As I understood more about people's suffering, issues and struggles, I wanted to develop myself further to help my clients. I thus obtained a Diploma in Hypnotherapy and Hypno-Psychotherapy at The National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy in the United Kingdom and attended several other courses in the UK and internationally to ensure my continued personal and professional development.

​
Who am I and what characterises my approach?
​
Beyond the sum of my qualifications, degrees and training - and beyond Iulia, the therapist, there is Iulia Popescu, a HUMAN passionate about authentic and unique experiences, healing through self-reflection, walking and continuous growth. Experience has taught me the importance of patience, empathy, balance. No matter what, I keep walking - sometimes with small steps, sometimes at a normal pace, and sometimes... running.
​
Walking (both literally and figuratively) weighs heavily when it comes to my balance. This is because:
1. I believe there is a strong connection between walking and mental health
2. I feel that walking improves my mood and self-esteem, and so have those who have accepted my challenges so far
3. I feel that walking can be a useful stress management tool and I view it as a form of meditation that allows me to clear my mind
​
I have a passion for psychotherapy and walking, and I have developed my own working method through which I generate transformational processes among my clients. It allows space for profound personal transformations. I seek to offer you a journey that brings knowledge, exploration, (re)discovery, understanding and management of yourself, your thoughts, emotions and behaviors - but beyond these, the management of those contexts and triggers that generate your experiences.
WALK with me: 4 steps that lead you towards a happier and more fulfilled life
The WALK method is based on "The Alchemist", by Paulo Coelho. The story conveys a profound message about the journey of self-discovery and the importance of the experiences we go through in life. In the book, Santiago embarks on a long and difficult journey that helps him discover his own inner treasure and the meaning of life. The journey tests his strength, courage and confidence and changes his perspective on the world. The character realises, at the end of the book, that the road to achieving the set goal was as important as the goal itself.
​
Based on my personal and professional experiences, I developed the WALK method - which I invite you to explore together:
