Mihaela Marian is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She also supports those coping with grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. She works in English and Romanian and sees clients based in the United Kingdom.

Mihaela uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person's own pace and priorities. Sessions aim to give space to talk, to feel heard, and to make sense of difficult emotions.

Background and approach

The work is practical and grounded in everyday experience rather than medical language. She has three years of counselling experience and holds BACP registration. Before training as a therapist, Mihaela spent many years in health and social care roles, including work with people with dementia and learning disabilities.

That background shapes her compassionate, steady style. In sessions she may introduce mindfulness and creative ways to express thoughts and feelings, such as art or metaphor, when these feel helpful. The emphasis is on what each person needs in the moment rather than following a rigid plan.

Mihaela offers talking through loss, caregiving strain, communication problems and identity concerns like body image or life purpose. People also come for support with chronic illness, abandonment or attachment wounds. Her aim is to help people find resilience and clearer direction as they move forward.

Approach and online therapy options

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement, follows what matters most to the individual, and helps people make sense of their experiences. This approach is useful for anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and self-esteem issues because it focuses on the client's own goals.

Mihaela may also use mindfulness practices to bring attention to the present moment and reduce overwhelming feelings. Creative exercises such as drawing or metaphor can help when words are hard to find and support emotional expression in a different way.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the person's needs, goals and preferences, adjusting as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing to speaking or need brief, on-the-go check-ins. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, caregiving or health demands and to choose the format that helps sustain regular sessions.
