Dr. Gergana Ganeva
Compassionate therapist for deep personal work
About Gergana
Dr Gergana Ganeva welcomes people who are facing relationship strains, anxiety, low mood, life changes or questions about identity. She speaks plainly and listens closely, helping each person name what is happening and find practical ways to cope. Her bedside manner is calm and compassionate, and she aims to make sessions feel like a thoughtful conversation rather than a lecture.
With 14 years of professional experience and a BACP registration, Dr Ganeva draws on humanistic and depth-oriented influences.
Background and approach
She blends talking with creative and embodied ways of working when that fits a person’s needs. Sessions can focus on immediate coping skills, exploring attachment patterns, or making sense of grief and loss. She often works with issues around intimacy, parenting pressures, career stress and trauma recovery.
Additional interests include adoption and foster care concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family matters, cancer and caregiver stress, and communication and control problems. This broad range means she tailors the approach to the concern brought into the room. Her practice values authenticity and collaboration.
That means she invites people to notice patterns, try small changes between sessions, and reflect on what feels meaningful. Therapy is described as a co-created process rather than the therapist delivering fixed solutions. People can expect an approach that balances listening with gentle direction.
Where useful, she draws on emotionally focused techniques to look at relationship patterns and on Jungian ideas to explore symbols and life meaning. Sessions aim to help people reconnect with their strengths and find clearer ways forward.

Sessions & fees
Approach-focused online therapy for relationships and meaning
Dr Ganeva uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a listening, non-judgemental space where a person’s own goals guide the work. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard, build self-trust and make practical changes at their own pace.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to look at patterns in close relationships and how emotions shape interactions. EFT is useful when people want to understand recurring conflicts or improve emotional connection with a partner or close other.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. She works collaboratively with each person to decide which ideas and methods fit best, and may combine approaches over time as needs and goals evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and preferences. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and non-verbal expression, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring duties or travel.
