About Gergana
Dr Gergana Ganeva offers a calm, reflective space for people facing relationship strains, stress and anxiety, career uncertainty, grief and life changes. She works in a collaborative way and values authenticity, so clients are encouraged to bring their whole selves to the session. Her practice also includes support around intimacy, family issues, parenting questions, trauma and LGBT concerns.
Dr Ganeva holds BACP accreditation. Gergana draws on a humanistic, integrative stance rather than a single method.
Background and approach
Sessions may combine talking, creative and embodied approaches to suit how a person prefers to work. She often focuses on meaning, patterns and emotional experience rather than only on quick problem-solving. Her background includes many years practising as a psychologist, social worker, counsellor and art psychotherapist.
That variety informs a flexible way of working and an interest in both deep emotional work and practical change. In sessions she aims to co-create a warm, non-judgemental space. Conversations can be process-led and exploratory, or shaped toward clearer goals when people want more structure.
Gergana notices how relationships, attachment and personal history show up in current difficulties and brings that into the work. People who want to explore identity, relationship patterns or life purpose may find her approach helpful. She also supports those dealing with loss, trauma, caregiving strain, adoption and attachment issues, and other complex family matters.
Gergana works with international clients and offers sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online work that suit your life
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and is helped to find their own solutions. It is useful when someone needs to be heard and to build self-trust.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotional experience in relationships and helps people identify and change the patterns that cause disconnection or repeated conflict. It can be helpful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns and recurring relationship cycles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether a more exploratory, process-led route or a structured, goal-focused path fits best. This decision is based on the person's needs, goals and preferences rather than being imposed in advance.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. The biography does not list specific formats, so confirming options is recommended. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, avoid travel time and keep appointments during life transitions. They also allow people to choose shorter check-ins when needed or to use conversations that rely mainly on voice rather than video, depending on practical needs. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods so emotional and relational work continues effectively across distance.
