About Gergana

Dr. Gergana Ganeva welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about relationships and life changes. She explains things plainly and offers a calm, patient space to talk. Sessions aim to help people make sense of difficult feelings and find ways to move forward at their own pace.

Gergana has 14 years of experience and holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration. She has worked in roles including psychologist, social worker, counsellor, talking therapist, and art psychotherapist. This mix shapes a flexible style that moves between talking and creative methods.

Her approach is humanistic and integrative. She draws on client-centred work and emotionally-focused ideas to help people notice patterns in relationships and emotion. Jungian and existential perspectives help when clients want to explore meaning, identity, or deeper life questions.

In sessions she listens closely and reflects back what matters to the client. She uses talking and sometimes creative or embodied exercises to surface feelings and make them easier to understand. Therapy is treated as a collaboration - the therapist and client decide together what to focus on.

Gergana also works with concerns linked to adoption and foster care among many other areas such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, parenting and attachment issues. She meets people from various backgrounds and supports international clients. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the scheduling process.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions; it works well for stress, self-esteem and relationship concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to how emotions shape interactions and helps people notice patterns in attachments and closeness, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working until something feels useful. This is a joint process where techniques are adapted to what the client needs and how they respond.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to attend regular sessions, try shorter check-ins, or use different communication rhythms that suit everyday life. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm the exact online options before booking so you know which format will be offered.
