Mr Catalin Stirbu

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

“Psychoanalyst with over 15 years of experience, I offer empathetic support and personalized interventions in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I guide you on your journey of self-discovery and transformation in a safe and confidential space.”

About Me

With over 15 years as a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, I offer a steady, empathetic presence. I help you uncover deeper patterns, making sense of how past experiences shape your present. Our confidential sessions provide a safe space to gently explore your unique story. This tailored approach is ideal for those seeking profound self-discovery and lasting personal transformation. We work towards a more authentic way of being.

Approach

Building on our shared exploration, therapy unfolds through attentive listening and careful interpretation that helps patterns become visible. I work with clients in Bucharest or online, in English or Romanian, creating a predictable, reflective pace where we follow associations, notice feelings in the room, and link present experience to earlier life. Between sessions you may be invited to note thoughts or dreams to bring back for reflection, so insights deepen over time. This way of working suits those seeking thoughtful, sustained self-understanding and change.
