About Gergana

Dr. Gergana Ganeva offers a calm, steady presence for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and major life changes. She introduces herself simply as Gergana and aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can be heard. Her approach is collaborative - she sits alongside people as they make sense of difficult feelings and choices.

Gergana draws on a long career in psychological and therapeutic work. She holds BACP registration and reports 14 years of professional experience in the UK and with international clients. Her background includes roles in psychology, social work, counselling and art psychotherapy, which inform a flexible way of working.

In sessions she mixes talking with creative and embodied methods when useful. She leans towards process-led work that follows what matters most to the client, while also offering more focused methods when clear goals are needed. This adaptability supports people dealing with trauma, relationship problems, parenting stress, identity questions and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.

Gergana places high value on authenticity and the therapeutic relationship. She aims to help clients notice patterns, uncover meaning, and reconnect with inner strengths. The work often involves exploring emotions, personal history, and current life demands in a gentle, reflective way.

People who prefer thoughtful, explorative therapy may find her style helpful. She invites clients to co-create the sessions and to choose the pace and emphasis that feel right for them.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping people find their own answers. It suits issues like low self-esteem, relationship struggles and general life uncertainty because the therapist follows your lead and supports self-discovery.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape close relationships and personal patterns. It helps people name, sit with and change emotional responses that cause distance or conflict in relationships and in how they relate to themselves.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then shape sessions together. That collaborative decision helps the therapy stay relevant to daily life and your priorities.

The practical benefits of online work can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family commitments. Online sessions can make it simpler to check in more often, reduce travel time and allow some people to engage from quieter surroundings. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to see which setup will suit you.
