Mihaela Marian, BACP

Mihaela Marian is a therapeutic counsellor who focuses on supporting people through difficult life moments and personal growth. She believes healing involves more than moving past pain - it means acknowledging experiences, learning from them and discovering new strength. Her approach centers on creating a welcoming, non-judgmental space where clients can express what matters most to them and feel heard.

Mihaela has worked in various roles within health and social care and has direct experience with dementia and learning disabilities, as well as supporting people through loss, bereavement, anxiety and depression. This background informs her work with issues such as stress, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes, along with related concerns like attachment, caregiver stress and chronic illness.

She practices client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy, respect and collaboration to help clients find their own solutions. She also uses mindfulness practices to encourage present-moment awareness and creative therapies including art, music and metaphor to help express feelings that may be hard to put into words. Mihaela holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She provides therapy in English and Romanian from the United Kingdom.

Client-Centered Approaches for Online Care

Client-centered therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering empathy, acceptance and collaboration so people can explore their thoughts and feelings and find their own path forward. This approach is helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship challenges, grief and coping with life transitions.

Mindfulness practices are used to cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce the intensity of anxious or overwhelming thoughts. These practices can support managing stress, anxiety and the emotional impact of chronic health concerns.

Creative therapies invite expressive tools such as art, music and metaphor to help access feelings that may be difficult to name. This can be particularly useful when grief, trauma or complex emotions make straightforward conversation hard.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Mihaela works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt techniques as understanding deepens over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone let clients meet from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for shorter or more frequent contact. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access consistent support when facing change or stress.
