About Ilona
Ilona Rakauskaite is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and motivation concerns. Ilona also supports clients facing career difficulties and the practical knock-on effects of life changes.
She believes people know their own story and brings a respectful, client-centred style to conversations. Sessions focus on what the client wants to work on and build on existing strengths. Ilona uses attachment-based ideas and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Hypnotherapy is offered as a tool in sessions when it suits a client's goals. Motivational interviewing is used for moments that need a clearer plan for change, such as shifting habits or addressing addictions. These methods are introduced in clear terms so clients can choose what feels helpful.
Ilona speaks English and Lithuanian and works with a wide range of concerns including trauma, relationship and family stresses, anger, and compassion fatigue. She lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, communication problems, domestic violence, and substance-related problems.
People who prefer straightforward, practical discussion about their next steps find her approach useful. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Ilona uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns shape current worries and interactions. This approach helps when social anxiety, trust or repeated relationship struggles are part of the difficulty.She also uses client-centred methods, which prioritise the person's agenda and pace. This helps people who want straightforward conversations and practical steps. Mindfulness therapy is offered to teach attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity and support calmer responses in stressful moments.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the process. Ilona will discuss options with the client and decide together which approach fits their needs and goals. The client’s preferences and daily life guide those choices, and adjustments are made as work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, avoid travel time, and choose quieter surroundings for focused conversation. Phone or video may suit different check-ins depending on energy and connection needs, and Ilona will help find what fits best.
