About Mihaela

Mihaela Marian works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and coping with life changes using a client-centred way of working. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years’ experience as a counsellor.

Mihaela uses a client-centred approach that focuses on listening and understanding what matters to each person. Sessions aim to help people talk through feelings, notice patterns and make practical changes that fit their life. She draws on earlier roles in health and social care when supporting people with loss, dementia-related needs and learning disabilities.

Her practice includes support for issues such as abandonment and attachment concerns, body image, illness and chronic pain, communication problems and separation. She also works with people facing caregiver strain, cancer-related distress, guilt and shame, loneliness and questions about life purpose. These topics often come up alongside anxiety and low mood.

In sessions Mihaela may encourage present-moment noticing and simple mindfulness exercises to help with anxiety and tension. Creative expression such as art, music or metaphors can be used to help people say what is hard to put into words. The focus is on what each person brings and how they want to move forward.

Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and are provided from the United Kingdom. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Mihaela’s therapeutic approaches work online

Mihaela uses Client-Centred Therapy, which emphasises respectful listening and understanding what matters to the person. This approach helps with issues such as anxiety, relationship problems and grief by focusing on the person’s experience and their own goals.

She also uses simple mindfulness practices to support present-moment awareness and reduce tension. These are short exercises that can be practised during sessions and between meetings to help manage anxiety symptoms. Creative expression is another element she may use, including art or music metaphors to help people access feelings they find hard to name.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review needs, goals and preferences with the client and agree an approach that feels useful. This is a collaborative process and can change as the work progresses.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins and making it simpler to schedule sessions around work or caring responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals often find online sessions an effective way to maintain continuity of support when in-person meetings are difficult.
