About Mihaela
Mihaela Marian helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship problems. She is approachable and calm, and she aims to give clients space to talk and be heard. Mihaela works in English and Romanian and is based in the United Kingdom.
She uses a client-centred way of working that focuses on the individual and what matters to them. Sessions are about listening, reflecting and helping people make sense of difficult feelings.
How Mihaela works
Practical tools such as mindfulness and creative exercises may be suggested when they suit someone’s needs. Mihaela brings three years of formal counselling experience and a longer career supporting people in health and social care roles. That background includes work related to dementia, learning disabilities, bereavement and long-term illness.
She draws on this practical experience alongside a therapeutic approach that stays grounded in the person’s experience. People often come to her with concerns about abandonment, attachment and communication problems, or with issues around self-esteem and life changes. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, cancer, loneliness and questions of life purpose.
Her sessions aim to be non-judgemental and steady. The goal is to help people feel more able to face challenges, make clearer choices and notice small changes that add up over time.

Online support options
How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions. In practice this means the therapist offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and reflects back what matters to the client so they can make clearer choices. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and grief.Mihaela may also draw on mindfulness practices to help reduce stress and improve awareness of thoughts and feelings. Simple, guided exercises can be used in sessions to build everyday coping skills. Creative exercises such as drawing or metaphor work can be adapted for online formats to support people who find words hard to start with.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with the client to decide what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as goals and preferences become clearer. That collaborative stance helps people try different ways of working without pressure.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes therapy flexible around work, care duties or travel. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in, while video calls allow for a fuller conversation. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need frequent brief contact. These options mean people can fit therapy into their life more easily and choose the format that helps them engage best.
