Kristalina Karamfilova

Kristalina Karamfilova, NCPS, helps people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, anxiety, trauma and feelings of emptiness. She also supports those dealing with burnout, compassion fatigue and life changes. Her work is practical and direct, aimed at restoring a sense of clarity and calm when life feels overwhelming.

Her sessions focus on understanding what happened and how it affects day-to-day life. She talks through boundaries, patterns, and the feelings that follow difficult relationships, including the impact of narcissistic abuse. Conversations are grounded and paced to match each person’s readiness to look back and move forward.

Kristalina draws on attachment-based ways of working to look at relationship dynamics and how early bonds shape current responses. She also uses client-centred methods to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities, and cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

When useful, hypnotherapy is offered alongside psychodynamic insights to uncover deeper themes from past experiences. The combination is tailored for each person rather than being the same for everyone. Her background includes work in private and voluntary services and some school-based work with adolescents.

She has four years of professional practice and holds NCPS as a listed credential. Sessions are offered in English and Kristalina accepts clients from outside the United Kingdom. To begin, the platform’s Start Therapy process is used to match and schedule sessions.

How different approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape feelings and reactions today. Online sessions can use this approach to map patterns, repair understanding of boundaries and reduce repeated hurt from relationship dynamics.

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and moves at their pace. In online talks the counsellor listens without directing, helping people name what matters and decide next steps for change.

Cognitive behavioural ideas help spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. Over distance these tools become short, practical exercises to try between sessions and review together.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that suit their goals, needs and preferences, and adapt techniques as progress is made. That decision is collaborative and can change over time.

The biography does not list which online session types are used, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins or making sessions possible across time zones for international clients. Registered or accredited professionals often tailor the rhythm and tasks of sessions to match practical needs and schedules.
