Stefan Mihailov

Stefan Mihailov is a counsellor who helps people manage strong emotions and life shifts. He works with issues such as anger, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and grief. Stefan communicates in English and Romanian and practises in the United Kingdom.

He trained with a Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling, awarded with Distinction. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society - NCPS. That background shapes how he works rather than listing fixed techniques.

Stefan favours a relationship-based way of working. He gives time to listen and help people feel understood. Together they look for repeating patterns that keep problems alive and try small changes to break those cycles.

Sessions draw on attachment ideas and person-centred listening, with influences from Emotionally-Focused Therapy, existential thinking and the Gottman Method where relevant. Conversations tend to focus on feelings, practical steps and what matters to the person in front of him.

He has four years of professional experience across agency settings and private practice. He sees people who are coping with life changes, stress, parenting challenges, sleep issues, addictions and a range of complex concerns that often occur together.

The working relationship is collaborative and goal-focused. Stefan invites people to set the agenda and to test approaches that fit their daily life and values.

How Stefan’s approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early care and close relationships shape current reactions. It helps people understand why certain situations trigger strong feelings and how to change those patterns. Client-Centred Therapy centres on being listened to without judgement and helps people make their own choices and find their own solutions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in relationships and supports people to name feelings and change interaction cycles to feel closer or safer.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stefan treats approach choice as a joint decision. He will discuss what matters to the client, try out methods and adjust as things move forward so the work fits the client’s aims and style.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed and help people keep continuity when routines change. The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available formats before booking. That helps ensure sessions match practical needs such as quieter surroundings, camera or phone preference, and scheduling around work or family life.
