Mihaela Marian, BACP

Mihaela Marian is a BACP counsellor who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship strains. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about painful feelings. Her approach is practical and person-focused, helping people find clearer thinking and kinder ways to cope.

Mihaela draws on three years working directly as a counsellor, and many more years in health and social care roles. That background includes supporting people affected by dementia, learning disabilities, long-term illness and bereavement. Those experiences inform how she listens and responds to everyday challenges.

In sessions she follows Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person’s experience at the centre of the work. She also uses mindfulness to help reduce anxiety and boost present-moment awareness. Creative methods such as art, music and metaphors are available when words are hard to find.

She often helps people cope with life changes, low self-esteem, feelings of isolation and difficulties with communication. Other areas she addresses include body image, chronic pain and caregiver stress, and jealousy when it affects wellbeing.

Mihaela works in English and Romanian and practises in the United Kingdom. She asks people to use the continue button on this profile to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time to meet according to the therapist’s availability.

Working online with a client-centred approach

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. It focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions rather than giving directives. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, grief and relationship concerns by building clearer self-understanding.

Mindfulness practices are often used alongside person-centred work. They encourage noticing thoughts and bodily sensations in the present moment and can reduce rumination and worry. Creative methods such as art, music and metaphors may also be used to make feelings easier to express when words are difficult.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to identify what fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That can mean trying different techniques and adjusting the focus as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or offering alternatives when being on camera is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can support people this way while helping them work through stress, jealousy and other concerns.
