Mirela Prodan , BACP

Mirela Prodan is a counsellor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief and big life changes. She supports those struggling with trauma and abuse, and works to rebuild self-esteem and motivation. Mirela offers calm, straightforward support for people who want to feel steadier and more able to cope.

She brings three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Mirela aims to make sessions a place where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgment. She emphasises practical steps alongside listening so people leave with small, workable ways to feel better.

Mirela uses client-centred methods that focus on the person's own pace and priorities. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Together these approaches help with anxiety, low mood, and coping after loss or difficult events.

In sessions Mirela works to build clear goals and simple strategies that fit daily life. She talks things through in plain language and checks in about what is or is not helpful. This practical, gentle style is aimed at people who want realistic change without complicated jargon.

People from diverse backgrounds and those facing multicultural concerns are welcome to explore their situation. Mirela supports people dealing with relationship separation, feelings of abandonment, or struggles around identity and purpose. She also addresses issues such as isolation, impulsivity and managing difficult emotions.

Therapy can be delivered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, and Mirela will help tailor the format to the person's needs and schedule.

Approaches and online therapy with Mirela Prodan

Mirela uses client-centred therapy, which means the conversation is guided by the person's needs and pace. This approach focuses on listening, building trust and helping people find their own solutions, which is useful for low self-esteem, life changes and feeling stuck.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is practical and goal-focused, often used for anxiety, mood difficulties and coping after trauma.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mirela discusses options with each person and adapts methods to their goals, preferences and day-to-day life. She checks in about what is working and adjusts the plan together.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a quicker check-in, live chat suits people who prefer typing, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments, while keeping the focus on practical progress.
