About Mirela

She holds BACP accreditation and has three years of professional experience. She helps people cope with grief, trauma and abuse, and with challenges to self-esteem and motivation.
How Mirela works
Mirela also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, isolation and communication problems. Her approach is down-to-earth and aimed at small, doable changes that add up over time. Mirela uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen without judgement and to help people feel heard.
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions affect each other and how to try new responses. Sessions are conversational and practical rather than technical. In a typical session Mirela helps clients identify a problem, try a different way of thinking about it, and set simple steps to test in daily life.
She pays attention to cultural background and to how money or life stage can affect choices and stress. The focus is on what the client wants to change and on realistic goals. The work is collaborative: Mirela supports people to notice patterns, to practice new skills and to build confidence.
She helps with forgiveness, guilt and shame as well as impulsivity and issues linked to autism or narcissistic dynamics. Her style is warm, patient and practical.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Mirela uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a listening space where the person's experiences are taken seriously and explored at their pace. This approach helps when someone needs empathy, acceptance and time to make sense of difficult feelings.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and on practical ways to test new behaviours. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, improving mood and changing unhelpful reaction patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Mirela will work with each person to identify what feels most useful, and she adapts methods to suit their goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and tailored over time rather than fixed from the start.
Online therapy allows work by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video is good for a full conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and other commitments, and help maintain regular contact while working on change.
