Dr. Gergana Ganeva, BACP

Dr. Gergana Ganeva offers a calm, reflective presence for people facing major life changes and emotional strain. She sees individuals who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting pressures and health-related challenges. She also supports people dealing with trauma, attachment questions, identity concerns and intimacy-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and she works with international clients from the United Kingdom and beyond.

Gergana uses a human-centred, integrative way of working. She blends talking, creative and body-based methods to match what feels most helpful in the moment. Her approach draws on client-centred ideas, emotionally-focused work, existential thinking and Jungian perspectives to help people make sense of inner experience.

In practice she treats therapy as a joint project. The therapist and client explore feelings, patterns and meaning together rather than imposing solutions. This can include sensitive work on family of origin issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, and communication or control problems in relationships.

Gergana has 14 years of professional experience and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background combines roles in psychology, social work, counselling and art psychotherapy, which informs a varied clinical toolkit that supports both emotional processing and personal growth.

People who prefer depth and self-exploration often find her style useful. She offers space for honest, sometimes difficult conversations and helps clients notice new ways of relating to themselves and others. If you want a collaborative, exploratory approach that can include creative methods, she may be a good fit.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Gergana works from a human-centred, emotionally attentive stance and commonly draws on client-centred and emotionally-focused methods. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening, acceptance and the client's own pace for change; it helps with anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties by creating a space to be heard. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and shifting emotional responses in relationships and can be useful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns and conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She treats therapy as a collaborative process and will talk with you about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together you can try different ways of working and adjust the focus as your needs evolve.

Confirm the available online session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches translate well to a talking-only format, while creative or embodied methods can be adapted for remote sessions with guidance. If you want a mix of talking and creative exercises, discuss this when you arrange your first meeting to agree what will work best.
