Mirela Prodan, BACP

Mirela Prodan welcomes people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or major life changes. She explains things plainly and helps clients make small practical steps. Mirela works to create an open space where thoughts and emotions can be shared without fear of judgment. She supports people who want more confidence, motivation and steadier day-to-day coping.

With three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Mirela combines a compassionate stance with tools that help people manage difficult feelings. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen closely and help clients lead the pace of work. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking and trying new responses.

Sessions focus on what matters to the individual. Mirela will help identify manageable goals and possible changes to routines and thinking patterns. She offers practical ideas for handling panic, low mood, intrusive memories and relationship stressors like communication problems and feelings of abandonment.

The therapist also pays attention to issues such as shame, guilt, struggles with identity and cultural concerns. Mirela aims to help people untangle isolation and rebuild confidence after loss or difficult life transitions. She explains steps clearly and checks in about what is working.

People start by sharing their current concern and what they'd like to change. Mirela supports gradual progress rather than sudden fixes. Her style is steady, empathetic and goal-minded, helping clients move toward a more manageable and purposeful life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Mirela uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's pace, helping people feel heard and understood as they decide what to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour, offering practical exercises to try different responses to worry, low mood or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Mirela works together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean more listening and reflection at first, then practical CBT tasks later, or combining elements as progress is made.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as specific formats are set by the service. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. It also offers ways to continue progress when life is hectic, using techniques and short exercises that can be practiced between sessions.
