Ilona Rakauskaite

Ilona Rakauskaite is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and grief. She speaks English and Lithuanian and works with clients who are exploring self‑esteem, motivation and life changes. Ilona draws on seven years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation.

Her approach starts by listening to the person in front of her. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them spot strengths they can use. Sessions aim to build small, practical steps that feel achievable day to day.

Ilona uses attachment‑based and client‑centred methods to help people understand relationship patterns and feel heard. She also offers hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques where appropriate to support stress reduction and build focus.

She has worked with people facing trauma, addiction, anger and compassion fatigue, and with concerns such as abandonment, communication problems and co‑morbid conditions. Ilona also supports those coming through divorce, separation and bereavement, helping clients regain routine and confidence.

Sessions include collaborative goal setting and techniques that people can practise between meetings. She blends motivational interviewing with solution‑focused ideas to keep work practical and goal‑oriented. The aim is clearer choices, steadier mood and better day‑to‑day coping.

Ilona accepts international clients and can discuss how therapy will fit into each person’s life and schedule before booking.

How attachment and mindfulness can work online

Ilona uses attachment‑based ideas to help people spot recurring relationship patterns and how these affect daily life. This approach focuses on understanding emotional responses and building new ways of connecting with others and oneself.

She also uses client‑centred methods that prioritise listening and the person's own goals, creating space for them to lead the conversation. Mindfulness techniques are offered to reduce stress and improve attention through simple breathing and awareness exercises.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ilona will talk through what feels useful and adapt methods to match a person's goals and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and how to measure progress.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. It can also let people try different techniques from home and carry practical exercises into everyday routines.
