Mihaela Marian , BACP

Mihaela Marian is a therapeutic counsellor who offers a compassionate, client-centered approach to help people navigate difficult life challenges. She believes that individuals possess an inner capacity to face and transform pain, and she aims to provide a respectful space where feelings can be expressed and explored. Mihaela works with issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes, and she brings focused support for related concerns including attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and life purpose.

She has supported people in a variety of roles within the health and social care field and has experience working with dementia, learning disabilities, loss and bereavement, anxiety, and depression. Drawing on client-centered principles, Mihaela encourages present-moment awareness through mindfulness practices and may incorporate creative methods such as art, music, symbols, and metaphors to help people express emotions and discover new perspectives.

Mihaela holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and provides therapy in English and Romanian from the United Kingdom. She offers a non-judgmental, collaborative space aimed at helping clients find resilience, meaning, and practical ways forward.

Client-Centered Care and Online Support

Mihaela primarily uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating an accepting and empathetic environment where the client leads the pace and direction of the work. This approach helps people explore feelings, build self-understanding, and develop greater confidence in decision-making and relationships.

She also integrates mindfulness practices to encourage present-moment awareness and reduce overwhelming worry. Mindfulness can help clients manage anxiety and develop kinder self-awareness during times of stress or change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mihaela works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and she adapts techniques to fit the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals while balancing work, family, or caregiving responsibilities, and they allow clients to choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable.
