Dr. Gergana Ganeva, BACP

Dr. Gergana Ganeva is a United Kingdom based therapist who supports people facing relationship and existential challenges, spiritual questions, and personal growth. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, intimacy issues, parenting and identity matters, offering a compassionate space where exploration and healing can unfold.

Her practice draws on extensive clinical experience and a range of professional roles, including work as a psychologist, social worker, counsellor, talking therapist, and art psychotherapist. With 14 years of practice, she adopts a humanistic and integrative stance, tailoring interventions to each person by blending person-centred, emotion-focused, process-experiential, expressive arts, psychodynamic and Jungian ideas. Creative, embodied and conversational methods are woven together to support deep insight, emotional processing and meaningful change. She offers both individual and couples therapy and works with international clients.

Ganeva frames therapy as a collaborative, co-created process in which the therapist acts as a facilitator rather than an authority. Her work emphasises authenticity, mutual respect and careful attention to patterns of meaning and unconscious material, allowing clients to explore their inner world at their own pace. She is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Therapeutic Approaches Shaping Online Work

Dr. Gergana Ganeva draws on client-centred therapy, emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) and existential therapy to guide online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-directive environment where the client’s own goals and resources guide the process - it is particularly helpful for building self-esteem, exploring identity and strengthening the therapeutic relationship.

Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) pays close attention to emotional experience and interaction patterns, especially in relationships. EFT helps people understand, express and reorganise emotional responses, which can reduce distress in couples and individuals facing attachment or intimacy issues. Existential therapy invites exploration of meaning, responsibility and life transitions, supporting people coping with grief, major life changes and questions about purpose.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and is worked out collaboratively. Dr. Ganeva will discuss options with each client, taking into account their needs, goals and preferences to find the best fit. Sessions delivered by registered professionals via video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging expand access to ongoing care, offering flexibility in scheduling, easier attendance across time zones and multiple ways to engage that suit different communication styles.
