About Mirela

Mirela Prodan offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She helps clients talk through low self-esteem, motivation problems and difficult feelings linked to trauma or abuse. Mirela explains the first steps clearly and focuses on what can be done now to make day-to-day life easier.

Her approach is warm and client-centred, which means sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and pace. She also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviours. Sessions aim to be practical and to build small, manageable steps towards change.

Mirela has three years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She creates a non-judgemental space where people can explore feelings linked to abandonment, attachment, guilt, shame and isolation. She also supports those dealing with relationship breakdown, domestic violence, or challenges related to autism and cultural differences.

People bring a wide range of concerns, from midlife questions and life purpose to impulsivity and financial stress. Mirela listens without rushing and offers straightforward techniques for coping in the moment. She encourages realistic goals and regular check-ins to track progress.

To start, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Mirela uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and she will work with each person to find an achievable plan that fits their life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Mirela combines client-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in a way that suits many everyday problems. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening deeply and following the client’s lead, helping people feel heard and understood. This approach is useful for dealing with shame, grief and relationship-related concerns.

CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. It can help with anxiety, low mood and stress by breaking problems into small, manageable steps and trying simple experiments between sessions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then agree a plan to try. Sessions can be adjusted as progress is reviewed, so the method evolves with the client's needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use different ways of meeting, and Mirela will clarify which formats she offers when you arrange the first session.
