About Stefan
Stefan Mihailov offers one-to-one counselling focused on the problems people bring into the room. He introduces himself simply and listens first. He works in English and Romanian and supports clients from the United Kingdom and internationally.
He trained with a Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling, awarded with distinction, and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Stefan draws on person-centred ideas and psychodynamic thinking while also using techniques from other approaches he has studied.
Background and approach
He aims to build a respectful, warm relationship where clients feel heard and understood. Sessions begin by identifying what the client wants to change or understand. Stefan then works alongside the person to notice patterns, feelings and choices that get in the way.
He keeps language plain and practical so people can try things between sessions. Common issues he supports include anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, grief, anger and relationship problems. He also helps people facing life transitions, work strain, sleep difficulties and struggles linked to attention and concentration.
His style emphasises emotional exploration and increasing self-awareness. Clients can expect a collaborative approach where goals guide the work. Stefan uses supervision as part of his professional practice to reflect on the counselling process.
To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. The initial steps are kept simple so getting help feels manageable.

How Stefan works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stefan will talk with each person about goals, preferences and practical needs, then suggest methods that suit them. Decisions about how to proceed are made together so the plan fits what the client hopes to change.
Confirm current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to attend from different locations, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also helps maintain continuity of care when life or work demands make in-person visits difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and conversations so therapy remains focused and usable in daily life.
