About Ilona
Ilona Rakauskaite offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She helps clients who are struggling with grief, low self-esteem, motivation and career worries. Sessions aim to make things feel more manageable and to build small steps toward change.
Ilona believes each person knows their story best. She listens without judgement and works alongside clients to identify strengths and goals. Conversations are shaped by what the individual needs rather than a fixed script.
Background and approach
Her approach can include hypnotherapy to support focused change, attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, and client-centred listening that puts the person’s perspective first. She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help with motivation and coping skills. Ilona has seven years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
That background informs a practical style that balances gentle challenge with clear steps forward. Sessions are offered in English and Lithuanian and can address a wide range of concerns such as addiction, trauma, relationship and family problems, anger, and compassion fatigue. The work aims to help people feel more confident in everyday choices and better able to manage difficult moments.
People who prefer talking through things, trying short exercises, and setting realistic goals may find this approach helpful. Ilona supports clients through each step and adapts methods to match their needs.

Online support
How Ilona’s approaches work online
Ilona uses hypnotherapy, attachment-based ideas and a client-centred way of working to help people make changes and cope better. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to support shifts in habits and reactions, which can help with anxiety, motivation and some addictive behaviours. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences affect current feelings and interactions, useful for communication problems, abandonment concerns and relationship stress. Client-centred therapy is built around empathic listening and reflecting back what the client says, helping people to feel heard and to find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to understand goals, try methods that suit the person, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques feel most helpful.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful when visual contact helps the conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are handy for brief check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options help fit sessions around work, travel and daily life while keeping continuity of care.
