About Mihaela
Mihaela Marian is a therapeutic counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She offers a calm and steady presence for those coping with loss, self-esteem struggles or life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and draw on her experience in health and social care.
Mihaela describes therapy as a place to express difficult feelings without judgement. She aims to help people make sense of painful experiences and find strength in recovery.
Background and approach
Her style is warm, attentive and rooted in the person sitting across from her. Before becoming a counsellor she spent many years supporting people in health and social care roles. That background includes work with dementia and learning disabilities and supporting people through bereavement, long-term illness and caregiving stress.
She brings those practical experiences into the room when relevant. Her clinical approach centres on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on understanding each person as an individual. She also uses mindfulness exercises and creative tools such as art and metaphor to help people express feelings that can be hard to say in words.
Mihaela has three years of formal counselling experience and holds BACP accreditation. She works with people in the United Kingdom and does not take international clients. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
People typically begin by completing a short questionnaire and then arranging sessions that suit their schedule. She aims to build a collaborative plan that matches each person’s needs and goals.
How Mihaela uses person-centred work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than labels. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what she hears and helps people find their own solutions. This approach can be useful for anxiety, relationship strain, grief and issues around self-worth because it creates space to make sense of feelings.Mihaela also uses mindfulness practices to bring attention to the present moment. Short breathing or grounding exercises can reduce anxious thinking and help people tolerate difficult emotions. She may introduce creative techniques such as art, symbols or metaphors to help express feelings that are hard to put into words.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and adapt methods based on a person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the client and counsellor try things and adjust as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring duties and daily life.
