About Gergana
Dr. Gergana Ganeva works with people facing relationship struggles, anxiety, stress and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, career questions, intimacy issues and concerns around parenting and self‑esteem.
Dr Ganeva greets each person with calm attention and a belief that people can change when they feel heard. Her sessions are conversational and welcoming. She uses talking, creative and embodied methods depending on what feels helpful.
How Gergana works
The aim is to help people name what matters, notice patterns, and try new ways of coping that fit their life. Ganeva practises from a humanistic stance and draws on client‑centred ideas. She also works with emotionally focused and existential perspectives, and brings in Jungian themes where useful.
This mix lets her tailor how she works to each person rather than follow one fixed model. She has 14 years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded here as BACP. She has worked internationally and with varied presenting issues, so she is used to helping people from different backgrounds and situations.
Sessions can explore practical steps as well as deeper meaning. People leave with clearer choices, calmer ways of handling emotions, and a stronger sense of their priorities. The process is collaborative - the therapist and the person decide together what to try next.

How these approaches work online
Client‑centred work focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist creates a respectful space where the person leads the pace and topic, which helps with relationship concerns, self‑esteem and life transitions.Emotionally‑Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to feelings in close relationships. It helps people identify patterns in how they connect and respond to others, which can ease conflict and improve intimacy.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which way of working fits their goals and preferences, and may combine elements over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text‑based messaging to offer practical flexibility. Video lets people read facial cues and body language. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check‑in. Live chat and text messaging suit those who prefer writing, need a less formal format, or want to reflect between messages. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit around work, travel and family life.
