About Stefan
Stefan Mihailov is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who often works with men and their wellbeing. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people feel listened to and understood. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on practical steps they can take next.
Stefan holds a Foundation Degree with Distinction in Integrative Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). He has four years of practice experience in both agency settings and private practice, offering work in English and Romanian. He also sees international clients.
His approach is integrative, drawing on person-centred ideas and psychodynamic thinking. He uses elements from Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method when these fit the client’s goals. Conversations are practical and rooted in the relationship between counsellor and client.
Stefan helps people talk through anxiety, depression, stress, grief and relationship difficulties. He also supports matters such as ADHD symptoms, addictions, sleep problems, parenting concerns, anger and challenges around self-esteem and work. He pays attention to how past patterns affect present choices.
In sessions he focuses on building self-awareness and spotting repeated patterns that cause distress. Goals come from the client and guide the work together. The emphasis is on listening, exploring feelings, and finding steps that bring measurable change.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Stefan uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses; this can help with trust issues, commitment concerns and patterns that reappear in adult relationships. Client-Centred Therapy is another strand of his work and focuses on listening closely, reflecting what the client says, and helping people find their own solutions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used for people who want to understand and change emotional responses within important relationships and reduce repeating cycles of conflict.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Stefan will discuss options and tailor the mix of methods to the client’s needs, goals and preferences rather than using a single fixed method. The decision about which approach to try is made together and can change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into daily life, as they can save travel time and allow therapy to be scheduled around work or family commitments. Online meetings can also make it simpler to have shorter check-ins when needed or to choose audio-only options if video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods to the online setting to keep sessions focused and practical.
