About Mihaela
Mihaela Marian is a therapeutic counsellor who helps people work through stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing self-esteem struggles and life changes, including separation and caregiving pressures. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and draw on a person-centred approach tailored to each person.
Mihaela speaks plainly and aims to give people a calm space to talk. She focuses on listening, understanding what matters to each person, and helping them find their own solutions. Her style is warm and direct, with practical ways to manage everyday strain and difficult emotions.
Before becoming a counsellor she spent almost 20 years in health and social care roles. During that time she supported people affected by dementia, learning disabilities, loss and bereavement, and long-term health challenges. That background informs how she approaches complex life circumstances now.
She works using Client-Centred Therapy, with practices such as mindfulness and creative expression available where they fit someones needs. Those creative methods can include art, music, symbols or metaphor to help express feelings when words are hard to find.
Mihaela is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has three years' experience as a practising counsellor and brings a steady, person-focused approach to sessions.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. The service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and costs can vary with location and therapist availability.
How client-centred care translates to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. It involves attentive listening, reflecting what someone says, and helping them uncover their own answers. This approach is often helpful for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns because it focuses on understanding and acceptance.Mindfulness practices are another element Mihaela uses. These are simple exercises and attention techniques that help people notice their thoughts and feelings without judgement. They can reduce rumination and make daily stress easier to manage.
Finding the right approach is something to work out together. The therapist will talk through the aims, try methods that fit a person's needs, and adapt the way sessions run as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps match methods to goals and personal preferences.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow continued support when managing illness, caregiving responsibilities or mobility limits. Registered and accredited professionals, including counsellors who use client-centred methods, can offer these practical benefits while tailoring the work to everyday routines.
