About Gergana

Dr Gergana Ganeva offers calm, practical support for people juggling parenting and other life strains. She helps clients untangle stress, anxiety, relationship worries and the daily pressures that come with caring responsibilities. Her approach is warm and grounded, aimed at making space for honest conversation and steady change.

Gergana draws on 14 years of experience working in psychological and social care roles. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Background and approach

Her background includes talking therapies and expressive methods that make it easier to say what feels hard to name. In sessions she tends to follow a person-centred way of working that treats each person as the expert in their own life.

She also uses emotionally focused ideas to help with relationship patterns and existential perspectives when people are facing big questions about meaning and direction. Those approaches are blended with creative, embodied, and reflective practices when helpful. Practical concerns such as coping with loss, change, grief, adoption and attachment issues are addressed alongside emotional themes like anger, shame and self-esteem.

She also works with people managing trauma, abuse and the stresses of caregiving or illness. Work with Gergana is collaborative. She will listen, reflect back what she hears and try different ways of working until something feels useful.

Sessions can include talking, creative exercises or focused emotional work depending on what the client needs.

Online support

How different approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers a non-judgemental space and reflects what you say so you can find your own answers. This approach is helpful for people who need acceptance and clarity around parenting strains, self-esteem or life transitions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people see patterns in their relationships and feelings. It aims to shift how emotions are experienced and shared, which can ease conflict and improve connection in close relationships and caregiving roles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, try different methods and decide together what feels best. That collaborative process helps match technique to your needs rather than imposing a single path.

Online sessions let you join from where you are via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone calls work well if bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or moments when writing feels easier. These flexible formats make it simpler to fit therapy around parenting, work and daily life while still building a steady therapeutic relationship with registered or accredited professionals.
