Dr. Gergana Ganeva

Dr. Gergana Ganeva offers calm, attentive support for people facing grief, life transitions and relationship struggles. She welcomes clients who want a thoughtful, reflective space to make sense of hard feelings. Her manner is collaborative and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on emotional awareness and personal meaning.

Gergana draws on 14 years of clinical experience and works from a humanistic, integrative viewpoint. She uses talking and creative methods to help people notice patterns, surface difficult emotions and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Sessions aim to help people feel heard and to build on existing strengths.

Her background includes roles as a psychologist, social worker, counsellor and art psychotherapist. This varied experience informs a flexible style that adapts to each person’s needs. She often combines person-centred listening with emotion-focused and Jungian ideas about meaning and symbol.

In practice Gergana focuses on grief, coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy issues, stress and anxiety, career concerns and mood difficulties. She also supports people dealing with trauma, parenting challenges, issues connected to adoption and attachment, and caregiver stress.

Therapy with her is collaborative rather than prescriptive. Conversations can be reflective and exploratory or oriented toward specific goals, depending on what someone needs. People come away with clearer understanding of patterns, more options for responding to difficult emotions, and practical steps to move forward.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy prioritises attentive listening and a non-judgemental presence. In sessions this looks like reflective listening, open questions and helping people name and feel what matters most to them. This approach can be useful for grief, anxiety and times of transition.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions as the route to change in close relationships and personal patterns. In practice this involves tracking emotional responses, identifying attachment needs and practising new ways of expressing feelings. EFT can help with intimacy issues, relationship distress and strong emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then tailor the mix of methods collaboratively. Clients are invited to notice what helps and to shape the direction of therapy together.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life, and avoiding travel time. Some people find it easier to attend regularly when sessions can be slotted between other commitments, or to use shorter check-ins when that suits their week. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what to expect.
