Viktoria Kirilova, BACP

Viktoria Kirilova is a counsellor who brings five years of direct therapy experience and a broader 11-year background in mental health. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Viktoria focuses on tailoring sessions to each person's needs and values a strong working relationship with clients.

Her work often centres on common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, low mood and trauma. She also supports people facing relationship strains, parenting challenges, addiction concerns and problems with sleep or eating. Viktoria pays attention to how past experiences influence present feelings and choices.

In sessions she combines practical strategies with time to reflect. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviours. Solution-focused ideas are used to set small, achievable goals and build momentum.

Trauma-focused methods are available when past events are causing current distress, and a client-centred stance helps conversations stay grounded in what matters to the person. Motivational interviewing can support people who want to change habits or make different choices.

Viktoria aims for clear, manageable steps rather than lengthy theory discussions. She works in English and Bulgarian and encourages people to speak about what they find most difficult. If you think this might help, follow the site process to match and arrange a first appointment.

How Viktoria adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Viktoria uses client-centred work to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person. This means starting from the client's concerns, listening closely and shaping the pace of therapy to their needs. Client-centred work helps when someone needs time to make sense of feelings and priorities.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT supports practical steps such as testing unhelpful thoughts, trying new behaviours and building small routines. This approach is often useful for anxiety, low mood and changes people want to make in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, reviewing what works as therapy progresses.

For practical arrangements, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to attend sessions from wherever they are able to concentrate and reflect.
