Mihaela MarianBACP

Mihaela Marian is a counsellor who aims to help people through major life challenges and the emotional work that comes with them. She focuses on concerns like stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and are based in the United Kingdom.

She draws on a humanistic, client-centred way of working that puts the person's own experience first. That means the conversation follows what matters to the client and the counsellor reflects back what they hear. Mindfulness and creative activities such as art or music may be introduced to help someone notice emotions and express things that are hard to say.

Mihaela spent almost 20 years supporting people in health and social care roles before qualifying as a therapeutic counsellor. She brings experience from work with dementia, learning disabilities, loss and bereavement, and with anxiety and depression. That background informs a calm, steady approach in sessions.

People often come to her when they feel overwhelmed by loss, are navigating separation or divorce, are caring for someone else, or are trying to rebuild after a difficult period. She also supports people facing issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image and chronic illness. The focus is on listening, understanding and helping people find their own next steps.

Her BACP credential indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. For practical arrangements, users should check current session options and scheduling before booking.

How client-centred work adapts to online sessions

Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects feelings and helps clients make sense of what matters most. This approach suits issues such as relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and life changes because it emphasises the client's own priorities and pace.

Mindfulness practices are often used alongside this work to bring attention to the present moment and reduce anxiety. Simple exercises in breathing or grounding can help someone feel steadier before talking about difficult topics. Creative methods like drawing, music or metaphor can also be introduced to help people express emotions when words are hard to find.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean trying short exercises, using creative tasks, or focusing on reflective conversation until a clear path forward emerges.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy routine, avoid travel time and check in from different locations. It also allows flexibility in how someone prefers to engage - for example choosing shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical arrangements to suit daily life and responsibilities.
