About Mihaela Marian
Mihaela Marian is a therapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people through difficult life moments with warmth and practical guidance. She believes that most people have the capacity to work through obstacles when they are offered a respectful, non-judgmental space to express what is happening for them. For Mihaela, healing involves engaging with pain, learning from it and using those lessons to build resilience and renewed purpose.
She works with clients facing loss, bereavement, relationship difficulties, divorce, the stresses of caregiving and many other challenges. Before training as a counsellor, Mihaela spent almost 20 years supporting people across a range of health and social care roles, including work with dementia, learning disabilities, loss and bereavement, anxiety and depression. Becoming a therapist was a final step in that journey and informs her compassionate, experience-based approach.
In sessions she draws on a client-centered orientation that helps people explore their values and discover new ways to grow. She also uses mindfulness practices to encourage present-moment awareness and greater self-acceptance, and creative therapies such as art, music and symbolic expression to help clients access and communicate feelings that can be hard to find words for. Mihaela holds a BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and offers support in English and Romanian.

Client-Centered Care and Online Support
Mihaela primarily offers client-centered therapy, an approach that focuses on the client’s own experience and personal strengths. In practice this means she listens without judgment, helps clients clarify what matters most to them and supports them in discovering their own pathways to change. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues and adapting to life changes.
She also integrates mindfulness practices, which encourage present-moment awareness to reduce anxious thinking and foster greater self-acceptance. These techniques can be helpful for stress, anxiety and managing difficult emotions. When helpful, creative therapies such as art or music are used to access feelings that are hard to express with words and to invite new perspectives on loss or identity.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mihaela collaborates with each client to identify goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as the work unfolds. Online delivery - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - makes that collaboration more flexible and accessible, allowing clients to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage ongoing commitments and engage in a format that feels most comfortable for them.
