Mihaela Marian

Mihaela Marian is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of experience as a practising therapist. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, self-esteem concerns and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and her approach centres on the person in front of her rather than on labels. Mihaela uses person-centred methods to help people talk through difficult feelings. She aims to listen without judgement and to reflect what she hears so clients can make clearer sense of their reactions. Practical tools such as mindfulness are also used to help with anxiety and to ground difficult moments. Her background includes many years in health and social care roles before becoming a counsellor. That experience included work with people affected by dementia, learning disabilities, loss and bereavement. She draws on that practical experience when supporting people through illness, caregiver stress and chronic health challenges. Creative work is part of her practice, and she sometimes brings art, music or metaphor into sessions to help people express things that are hard to put into words. This can be helpful when grief, body image or attachment issues feel stuck in the body rather than the mind. Mihaela also offers support around life purpose questions and relationship patterns such as commitment and communication problems. She encourages clients to notice small changes in thinking and behaviour that can make daily life feel more manageable. To begin, potential clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Costs vary with location and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How client-centred work and creativity translate online

Mihaela uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and reflecting what a person says. This approach helps people feel heard and to explore choices at their own pace, which can help with anxiety, grief and relationship doubts.

She also draws on mindfulness practices to support present-moment awareness. Short grounding exercises and breathing techniques are used to reduce anxiety and to steady difficult feelings during a session.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mihaela will discuss what helps most for your goals and preferences, and will adjust methods as you go. That collaborative process helps shape whether more talking, creative exercises or mindfulness work will be the focus.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help people keep therapy part of their routine while they explore life purpose, manage change, or work through grief.
