Ms Angela Groza, PhD

Hello, I’m Angela Groza, a psychologist and integrative psychotherapist, with a PhD in Psychology and more than 26 years of professional experience. Psychology has been both my profession and a field that continues to inspire me. Over the years, my work has brought me into contact with people of different ages, backgrounds and life experiences. Each of them has reminded me, in a different way, of the importance of feeling genuinely seen, heard and understood. I believe that seeking therapy is often an act of courage. Sometimes we come to therapy because something is painful; at other times, because we feel stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected from ourselves or from others. And sometimes there is simply a sense that we would like to understand ourselves more deeply and find a different way of living. Empathy and confidentiality are central to my work. I aim to offer a warm, safe and non-judgemental space in which you can be yourself. I will not tell you who you should be or how you should live your life. Instead, I will accompany you as you explore your experiences, emotions, relationships and patterns, helping you recognise your own resources and possibilities for change, and find ways to create the life you want to live. My professional experience brings together many years of university teaching ( years), research and clinical practice. This includes my role as Manager of the Psychological Safety Research Laboratory within the Faculty of Psychology at “Ion Creangă” State Pedagogical University, as well as my involvement in other research projects, my work in private practice and my experience at the National Centre for the Protection of Abused Children. I see each person as a whole, with thoughts, emotions, body, relationships and life experiences all deeply interconnected. Difficulties rarely exist in isolation. For this reason, I adapt the therapeutic process to the individual, rather than expecting the individual to fit a particular method or approach. I am particularly interested in the ways in which our earlier experiences can shape the relationships we have with ourselves and with others. Patterns learned early in life can continue to influence us long after the circumstances in which they first developed have changed. Through greater awareness, compassion and the experience of a safe therapeutic relationship, these patterns can become more flexible, opening the possibility of new ways of relating. My work is grounded in respect, collaboration and authenticity. I see therapy as a process in which difficult experiences can be approached at a pace that feels right for you, while making space for growth, deeper self-understanding and meaningful change. I would be pleased to work with you in exploring the difficulties you are facing and in finding ways of responding to them.
