About Stefan
Stefan Mihailov is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people navigate relationship struggles, anxiety, depression and big life changes. He speaks English and Romanian and works with individuals on issues such as stress, grief, parenting concerns, addiction and self-esteem. Stefan draws on several therapeutic approaches to suit each person he meets.
Stefan holds a Foundation Degree (with Distinction) in Integrative Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the NCPS. He has four years of practice experience and has worked in both agency settings and private practice. He sees people in person and online.
His work emphasises the therapeutic relationship and listening first. In sessions he creates an empathic space where people can talk through emotions and life patterns. He pays attention to unconscious material and recurring themes that affect daily life.
Stefan uses an integrative way of working that draws on person-centred and psychodynamic ideas, and he may bring in techniques from attachment-based, emotionally focused, existential, Jungian and other approaches as appropriate. He focuses on practical understanding and on identifying patterns that get in the way of well-being.
Clients are invited to set goals together and shape the work around their priorities. Stefan also follows the BACP Ethical and Professional Framework and undertakes regular supervision to support his practice.
How Stefan’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand closeness, trust and repeated behaviours in relationships. Client-centred therapy emphasises being heard and respected; the counsellor follows your pace and priorities to help you make sense of feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotions in the moment and helps people change the interaction patterns that keep them stuck, which can be useful for relationship stress or intense personal emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stefan will talk with you about your needs and goals and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative planning means the work can shift as your priorities change and you can try approaches that fit your situation.
Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as taking sessions during a lunch break or when travel is difficult. Because session formats were not specified in the original biography, please confirm the current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and to support regular check-ins when meeting in person is harder.
