About Gergana

Dr. Gergana Ganeva offers calm, open-minded support for people facing big life questions and sudden shifts. She helps with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, career uncertainty, depression, grief and other midlife concerns. Gergana aims to make therapy a simple place to talk and be heard without judgement. Gergana uses short conversations, creative tasks and reflective work to help people notice patterns and find new options. She draws on client-centred and emotionally focused ways of working, alongside existential and Jungian ideas, and adapts these to each person’s needs. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the individual. Her background includes many years working as a psychologist, social worker, counsellor, talking therapist and art psychotherapist. This mix of roles informs a flexible style that values both feeling and thinking. Gergana describes her role as a facilitator who listens closely and helps people name what matters to them. People can expect a practical focus on meaning, relationships and everyday coping. Gergana often brings creative or embodied exercises into conversations when these feel helpful. Her aim is to help clients gain clarity, reconnect with strengths and make workable changes. She works with people from many countries and from varied life situations. Gergana holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is listed as her credential.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a warm, non-judgemental space where clients lead the conversation and the therapist reflects what matters. This approach helps people clarify feelings and make decisions about life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and how they influence relationships and personal patterns. It helps with connection, resolving recurring conflicts and understanding attachment needs. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then shape sessions accordingly. This is a collaborative process where methods are tried and adjusted until they fit the client’s situation. For practical matters, the site biography does not list explicit session formats, so please confirm the options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also allow shorter or longer appointments where needed, and offer alternatives when camera use is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, creative tasks and reflective work to suit an online conversation, helping clients progress even when meeting remotely.
