About Stefan
Stefan Mihailov offers calm, practical support for people facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, grief and life changes. He speaks English and Romanian and works online with people living in the United Kingdom and internationally. Stefan aims to help people feel heard and to make steady, realistic steps forward.
Stefan trained to a Foundation Degree level in Integrative Counselling, awarded with distinction. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society - NCPS.
Background and approach
He has four years of clinical experience and has worked in agencies and in independent practice. He uses an integrative way of working that draws on person-centred ideas and psychodynamic thinking. That means sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of him while also looking for repeating patterns that can keep problems going.
He can also use techniques from attachment work, emotionally-focused methods and the Gottman approach when those fit the goals. In sessions Stefan aims to build a warm, straightforward relationship. He listens first, helps people name what is difficult, and then works with them to try out new ways of responding.
The pace is set by the person attending and their priorities guide each meeting. Practical matters such as sleep problems, parenting pressures, stress at work, addictions and ADHD-related difficulties are part of the work he offers. People can expect a thoughtful, down-to-earth counsellor who focuses on clear, usable change.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs and preferences, discussing options and adjusting the plan as therapy goes on. The emphasis is on finding what helps the individual make practical changes and feel more able to cope.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text messaging suits people who prefer writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while working with registered or accredited professionals and experienced therapists.
