Stefan Mihailov, BACP, NCPS

Counsellor Stefan Mihailov is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) registered member and a member of the NCPS with four years' experience. He works with a wide range of concerns including relationship problems, depression, anxiety, ADHD, addictions and grief. He offers work in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English and Romanian.

Stefan uses an integrative stance that draws on client-centred ideas and psychodynamic thinking. He often brings in elements from approaches such as attachment-based work, emotionally-focused techniques and the Gottman Method when they fit the issue. In practical terms that means talking through current problems, looking at how past patterns affect present feelings, and trying different ways of relating or responding.

Sessions aim to identify patterns that cause distress and to try more helpful ways of managing emotions and relationships. He describes the therapeutic relationship as the place where this work happens, and uses that relationship to notice repeating cycles and make small changes. Work may include discussing past experiences, practising new ways of speaking about feelings, and trying specific interaction techniques where appropriate.

Stefan has worked in agency settings and in private practice, offering both in-person and online appointments. He holds a Foundation Degree with Distinction in Integrative Counselling and follows the BACP Ethical Framework. He also undertakes ongoing professional development and supervision as part of his practice.

Practical matters are agreed together at the start. Sessions follow the client's priorities and move at a pace that feels manageable. International clients can be seen, and sessions are offered in English and Romanian.
