About Gergana

Dr. Gergana Ganeva welcomes people who are struggling with anger, relationship strain, anxiety, stress or life changes. She presents a calm, curious presence and aims to make conversations feel direct and easy to follow. Her style is warm and non-judgemental, and she works with clients to co-create a space where strong emotions can be named and understood.

Gergana describes her practice as humanistic and integrative. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Jungian and existential ideas. Sessions may include talking, creative tasks or noticing bodily experience, depending on what each person finds helpful.

She has a background across psychology, social work, counselling and art psychotherapy and brings 14 years of practice to her work. Gergana aims to adapt methods to the person in front of her rather than follow a single formula. This means practical ways of managing anger and relationship conflict can sit alongside deeper exploration of meaning and identity.

People often come to her for help with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, career pressure, intimacy or self-esteem. She also supports those navigating adoption, attachment concerns, autism-related issues, caregiver stress and the effects of family-of-origin problems.

Gergana is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Her approach is collaborative and paced to each client's needs, with space for both practical coping and emotional discovery.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being listened to without judgment and recognising each person's own resources; online work focuses on creating that same attentive, respectful space through conversation and reflective tasks. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift core emotional responses in relationships, and online sessions can be used to map emotional patterns and practise new responses in between meetings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and then adapt methods so they fit the client. This is a collaborative process that may combine reflective exploration with practical coping strategies over time.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as this biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow regular check-ins from different locations. It also allows the use of creative or embodied exercises during sessions when appropriate, and the therapist can suggest ways to practise new skills between meetings.
