Stefan Mihailov
Supportive counsellor for emotional and relationship challenges
About Stefan
Stefan Mihailov helps people who are feeling stuck, anxious, sad, or overwhelmed by change. He aims to create a place where clients can talk and be heard. Stefan works with individuals on relationship worries, stress, addiction concerns, grief, ADHD-related struggles, and low self-esteem.
He trained to a Foundation Degree level in Integrative Counselling, awarded with distinction. Stefan is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).
Background and approach
He has four years of experience in both agency settings and independent practice, offering sessions online and in person. His way of working draws on attachment ideas and person-centred listening. Stefan often uses emotion-focused methods and elements from relationship work to look at how patterns form and repeat.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client's needs, with the client's goals guiding the work. Conversations focus on what feels most pressing - mood, sleep, parenting strain, or career uncertainty. Stefan pays particular attention to the ways early relationships shape current reactions and to building stronger emotional connection with oneself and others.
He frames the therapeutic relationship as a respectful, down-to-earth partnership. Stefan encourages curiosity about feelings and practical steps to ease day-to-day strain. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and to find realistic ways to cope and move forward.

Sessions & fees
Approach-informed online therapy that fits your life
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions, helping people who struggle with closeness, abandonment fears, or repeated relationship patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement, allowing people to explore their own priorities and decide what matters most. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift strong emotional responses to create clearer connections and reduce distress in intimate or close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Stefan will talk with the client about goals, past experiences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether attachment, emotion-focused, or person-centred methods best match the issue and the person's preferences. This collaborative planning can change over time as needs evolve.
Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or travel while keeping regular contact with a registered or accredited professional.
