Mirela Prodan, BACP

Mirela Prodan is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety and traumatic experiences, and helps those coping with grief, loss and major life changes. Mirela aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and to take the first steps towards change.

She uses a conversational, client-centred style that focuses on what matters most to each person. Sessions are intended to be non-judgemental and straightforward, so people can say what they think and feel. Mirela emphasises practical ways to build confidence and motivation alongside emotional support.

Her work also addresses issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, communication problems, isolation and feelings of guilt or shame. She can help people thinking about life purpose, money worries and relationship endings, including divorce and separation. Midlife crisis is listed among her focus areas for people navigating that specific period of transition.

Mirela combines client-centred conversations with elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, so practical thinking skills can sit alongside a supportive therapeutic relationship. This means sessions can include looking at thought patterns, trying new ways of coping, and planning manageable steps forward.

She seeks to empower clients to make changes at a pace that suits them. People interested in taking a first step are encouraged to reflect on what they want from therapy and to begin with a short matching questionnaire to see if Mirela might be a good fit.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Mirela uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person's experience. This approach means the counsellor listens without judgement and follows the concerns that matter most to the client. It can help people feel heard and understood when dealing with grief, anxiety or life changes.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. CBT involves spotting patterns, testing different ways of thinking, and trying practical coping strategies. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress management.

Finding the right way of working is a shared process. Mirela will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which combination of approaches fits best. She aims to tailor sessions so they match what each person needs and wants to try.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It also gives space to practise techniques between meetings and to bring real-life problems into the conversation.
