About Stefan
Stefan Mihailov offers calm, steady support for people who are struggling with sleep, relationships, anxiety or big life changes. He is a BACP member and NCPS member and brings four years of practice to sessions. Stefan aims to create a space where someone can feel listened to and start making small, practical changes.
He trained with a Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling, awarded with distinction, and draws on a mix of approaches rather than a single method. In sessions he often focuses on the relationship between feelings and everyday behaviour to help identify patterns that affect sleep, mood and stress.
Stefan describes his work as collaborative and person-centred. He uses empathic listening and reflective conversation to help people name what they are facing and set realistic goals. That may include looking at how past experiences shape current reactions and experimenting with different ways of responding.
Clients commonly bring worries about anxiety, depression, grief, parenting and addiction, as well as sleep problems and stress. Stefan also supports people dealing with anger, self-esteem issues, career pressures and the emotional impact of major life events.
He works with people online and in person from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are shaped around the person’s goals, and Stefan asks clients to prioritise what they want to address so the work stays practical and focused.
How Stefan uses therapeutic approaches online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at the ways early relationships influence how someone connects now. It helps when problems involve trust, fear of abandonment or repeating negative patterns in close relationships. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises an empathic, non-judgemental relationship where the person sets the pace and priorities; it is useful for people wanting to explore feelings, self-esteem and everyday struggles.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Stefan will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as the work progresses, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
The profile says he offers online sessions, but does not list specific online formats here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family duties or travel, and they can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that suits the person. Registered or accredited professionals like Stefan aim to adapt their methods so therapy is effective even when not in the same room.
