About Stefan
Stefan Mihailov is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people through relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression and major life changes. He offers one-to-one sessions that aim to help clients feel heard and to work toward practical goals. Stefan speaks English and Romanian and works with people online as well as in person.
He uses an integrative approach that draws on person-centred ideas and psychodynamic thinking. Jungian therapy and attachment-based ideas inform his practice, so sessions may look at patterns that repeat over time and how early relationships affect current feelings.
Background and approach
The work is conversational and reflective, not overly technical. Stefan holds a Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling, awarded with distinction. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), and he follows the BACP Ethical and Professional Framework.
In sessions Stefan helps people untangle worries about parenting, grief, work stress, sleep problems, addiction concerns, anger and self-esteem. He also offers support for more specific issues such as attachment difficulties, codependency and coping after separation. The focus is on understanding what matters to the individual and working toward clearer choices.
Stefan keeps the therapeutic relationship central. He aims to create an empathic space where clients can talk through emotions and uncover unhelpful patterns. Practical steps and agreed goals shape the ongoing work together.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Jungian Therapy looks at symbols, dreams and recurring life themes to help people understand deeper patterns. It can be useful for those wanting to explore identity, meaning and repeated relationship dynamics.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape present relationships and emotional responses. This approach helps when anxiety, trust issues or difficulties in close relationships are a core concern.
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work, using empathic listening and acceptance to help people find their own solutions and build self-trust.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work together. Stefan will talk through options and adapt methods based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. He treats the process as collaborative and will check in about what feels most helpful as therapy progresses.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when connection speed or comfort with cameras is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections between sessions or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options add flexibility and help people keep continuity when life is unpredictable.
