In this episode of the Power to Live Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Ioana, a psychotherapist, researcher, and lecturer training the next generation of contextual behavioural therapists.
Ioana shares her fascinating journey from philosophy and theatre directing into psychology, and how early interests in primatology and evolutionary psychology shaped her worldview. We explore:
How Ioana discovered Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP)
Her groundbreaking doctoral research on how psychedelic experiences may influence therapist effectiveness
The qualities that make therapy authentic, alive, and sustainable for therapists as well as clients
Why enthusiasm, authenticity, and self-reflection are just as important as technical skills
What young therapists can do to feel more empowered and aligned in the therapy room
This rich and inspiring conversation highlights both the complexity and humanity of therapeutic work, offering practical insights for therapists, clients, and anyone curious about the evolving landscape of psychotherapy.

Dr. Iona“Maybe try to first notice what it is that makes you happy, what makes you enthusiastic, what kind of things make you feel alive in the room and also outside of the room — and see if you can bring more of that into your therapy.”
The Power to Live Foundation is a charity committed to breaking down financial barriers to therapy. We believe everyone deserves access to support that helps them live a meaningful life.
Our services include evidence-based behavioural therapies tailored to your income level, available online or at our clinic in Bishopsgate, City of London.
