Mihaela Marian , BACP

Mihaela Marian is a therapeutic counsellor who supports people through periods of loss, transition and emotional challenge. She works from a client-centered perspective that emphasizes respect, empathy and collaboration so that people can explore difficult feelings and build resilience. Mihaela believes healing involves not only moving beyond pain but also learning from painful experiences and reshaping them into sources of strength.

She has supported people across many roles in health and social care for nearly 20 years and has three years of experience working as a therapist. Her background includes work with dementia and learning disabilities, as well as focused experience in loss and bereavement, anxiety and depression. This practical experience informs her work with issues such as stress, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Mihaela uses humanistic client-centered methods alongside mindfulness practices and creative therapies to help people access new perspectives and personal growth. She holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adherence to professional standards. Mihaela provides therapy in English and Romanian and offers flexible approaches tailored to each person she works with.

Client-Centered Approaches for Online Support

Mihaela practises client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating an empathic, non-directive space where people can explore their feelings and values. This approach helps with stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem and major life changes by encouraging personal insight and self-directed growth.

She also uses mindfulness practices to encourage present-moment awareness and reduce overwhelming anxiety. These simple, practical techniques can help people manage intrusive thoughts and develop greater acceptance of difficult emotions.

Creative therapies are another element of her work, using art, music or metaphor to access feelings that can be hard to put into words. This can be especially helpful for grief, trauma, or those who find verbal expression challenging.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Mihaela works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as the work unfolds.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from the comfort of home, while allowing licensed professionals to offer consistent, ongoing care.
