About Mariana Aleksieva
I’m a BACP-registered counsellor with a postgraduate diploma in psychosynthesis counselling. My own experience of therapy first showed me what it can mean to feel understood during a difficult time. It sparked an interest in how people make sense of their lives and eventually led me to train as a counsellor.
I moved to London in 2000 to continue my studies and worked in the corporate sector before studying psychology. Living between cultures has shaped how I think about identity, belonging and feeling at home in yourself.
My training in yoga and executive coaching also informs my work. Yoga has helped me pay attention to how we experience stress in the body. Coaching has taught me the value of making space to think and taking practical steps when you’re ready.
I work with adults in Hampstead and online, in English and Bulgarian.
