Stefan Mihailov, BACP, NCPS

Stefan Mihailov is a UK-based therapeutic counsellor who blends formal training with practical experience to support people facing a wide range of life challenges. He holds a Foundation Degree with Distinction in Integrative Counselling and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) as well as a member of the NCPS. Stefan has worked both in agency settings and in private practice, offering help in-person and online.

Working from an integrative perspective, Stefan draws on psychodynamic and person-centred ideas while also using techniques learned through ongoing professional development. This flexible approach allows him to adapt interventions to each person rather than fitting people to a particular model. He specialises in areas such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, stress and anger, grief and bereavement, addictions, ADHD, trauma and abuse, parenting difficulties, career issues, and the many transitions that accompany life changes.

Stefan places strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and on exploring underlying emotional patterns to increase self-awareness and support healing. He aims to create an empathic and genuine space where a client s priorities guide the work and goals are shared between therapist and client. As a BACP member he follows that organisation s Ethical and Professional Framework and undertakes regular personal supervision to maintain professional standards.

Attachment and Emotion-Focused Support Online

Stefan frequently uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. This approach helps people understand attachment needs and how these shape behaviours in relationships, which can be useful for those struggling with intimacy, abandonment, or recurring relational difficulties.

He also works with Client-Centred Therapy, offering a non-directive, empathic stance that prioritises the client s own experience and pace of change. This method supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions by creating a respectful, accepting space for personal discovery.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process; Stefan collaborates with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Registered professionals will adapt techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Stefan is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to fit sessions into daily life and to maintain continuity of care across locations.
