Stefan Mihailov , BACP, NCPS

Stefan Mihailov is a counsellor who focuses on practical support for everyday struggles. He helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, stress, anger and grief. He also works with concerns like parenting strain, sleep problems, ADHD and addictions. Stefan offers sessions in English and Romanian and works with clients across the United Kingdom and internationally.

He trained with a Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling, awarded with distinction, and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Stefan draws on a mix of approaches rather than a single model, so sessions can feel flexible and tailored to the person in front of him. He values straightforward conversation and steady support over jargon or rigid formulas.

In practice he places emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and exploring how past patterns affect present life. That might include looking at attachment style, relationship patterns, or personal values. He aims to build trust quickly so people can talk about difficult feelings and painful memories without being rushed.

Stefan uses tools from attachment-based work, emotionally focused approaches, existential thinking and client-centred methods. He helps people clarify goals, try small changes between sessions, and notice what is working. The pace and focus are set together so the work stays relevant to daily life.

Sessions are offered online and in person, and Stefan has experience from agency settings and private practice. He follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and attends regular supervision to guide his work.

Approaches online and how they can help

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections. It helps people spot repeated relationship cycles and learn new ways of relating that reduce conflict and isolation.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience first by offering a non-judgemental space to talk. It helps when someone needs to feel heard, make sense of emotions, and find their own solutions at a steady pace.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) works with emotions and interaction patterns to strengthen close bonds and resolve painful cycles. It is often used for people who want clearer emotional communication and more secure relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as you go.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people write between sessions or check in when a quick message fits better. These options can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
