About Gergana
Dr Gergana Ganeva helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship problems, career worries, grief and other life changes using talking and creative methods. She describes her work as collaborative and process-led, drawing on client-centred and emotionally focused ways of working. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 14 years of experience.
Gergana uses a blend of talking, creative and embodied approaches to help people notice patterns in their feelings and relationships. Sessions often involve exploring emotions, identifying unhelpful cycles, and trying different ways of responding in daily life. She aims to create a reflective space where clients can think through painful experiences and make practical steps forward.
Her background covers a range of therapeutic roles over many years, including psychological and social work contexts. This experience informs her ability to work with complex issues such as trauma and abuse, attachment concerns, bereavement, and intimacy-related difficulties. She also addresses matters linked to parenting, adoption and foster care, and blended family issues.
Gergana works with relationship and identity questions, including LGBT concerns, abandonment and family of origin problems. She also supports people facing health-related stressors such as cancer, and those under caregiver strain. Practical topics like communication problems, anger and self-esteem feature in her practice.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Gergana commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and reflecting to help people make sense of their feelings and choices; it is useful for stress, life changes and self-esteem work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions in relationships and helps people identify and shift unhelpful interaction patterns and deepen emotional understanding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss different methods in early sessions and decide collaboratively which fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. The therapist and client review progress and adapt the way they work as needed.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible for people living abroad to work with a UK-based counsellor, while keeping practical arrangements flexible around daily commitments.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
