About Stefan Mihailov
Stefan Mihailov is a therapeutic counsellor who combines professional training with practical experience to support people facing a wide range of emotional and life challenges. He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds membership of the NCPS, and he also completed a Foundation Degree (with Distinction) in Integrative Counselling - a practical counselling qualification that informed his clinical development.
He has worked in both agency settings and private practice, offering therapy online and in person. Trained in an integrative approach, Stefan draws on psychodynamic and person-centred theories while also using techniques from other modalities encountered during ongoing professional development. This flexibility allows him to tailor interventions to each person's needs rather than applying a single method to everyone.
Stefan specialises in one-to-one work with issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, stress, anger management, loss and bereavement, and the transitions that come with new chapters in life. He emphasises the therapeutic relationship and exploration of unconscious patterns to increase self-awareness, support healing and foster more positive feelings.
His work is collaborative and grounded in empathic, genuine connection and respect for each person's unique experience. Stefan aims to help people feel listened to and understood so they can address struggles with greater clarity. Goals are set together and guide the therapeutic process, and he follows the BACP Ethical and Professional Framework, including regular personal supervision to maintain ethical and professional standards.

Approaches That Guide Online Work
Stefan often uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy when working with clients online. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and shift how they relate to others, which can be useful for relationship problems, abandonment or attachment concerns. Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the centre of the work, emphasising empathy, unconditional positive regard and active listening to support self-exploration and personal growth; it is often helpful for low self-esteem, anxiety and navigating life changes.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Stefan approaches this collaboratively. He will work with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting interventions over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy with Stefan is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to maintain continuity during life transitions, and to access support from different locations, while still working with registered professionals and therapists who tailor the work to individual needs.
