About Mihaela
Mihaela Marian is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of formal counselling experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and focus on practical ways to move forward when life feels unclear.
Her background includes almost 20 years of work in health and social care roles before qualifying as a counsellor. That experience includes supporting people affected by dementia, learning disabilities, bereavement, anxiety and depression. She draws on that practical history when responding to current concerns and everyday pressures.
Mihaela uses client-centred therapy as her main approach. In sessions she listens for what matters most to the person and follows their priorities. She also uses mindfulness practices to help with anxiety and creative methods such as art or metaphor when words are hard to find.
People often come to her when they feel stuck after a life change - for example a separation, becoming a carer, a health crisis or work upheaval. She helps people sort through emotions, identify next steps and practise ways of coping so decisions feel more manageable.
Practical arrangements include a subscription-based session model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first appointment are used to set up the initial session and discuss goals.
How client-centred work and online sessions fit together
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely to the person's concerns and following their lead. It helps when someone needs a space to sort out priorities, values and feelings after a change in work, relationship or health.Mindfulness practices are also used to help manage anxiety and bring attention back to the present moment. These are simple exercises people can try in-session and between appointments to reduce rumination and steady emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what seems most helpful and adjust methods based on the client's needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way. Clients and the therapist decide together whether mindfulness, creative work or a client-centred focus will best support the next steps.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around everyday life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or reducing the need to be on camera when someone prefers a phone-style conversation. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical advantages to help people keep therapy manageable alongside daily responsibilities.
