Viktoria Kirilova

Viktoria Kirilova is a counsellor registered with the BACP who has worked in mental health for five years. She focuses on tailoring sessions to each person and aims to build a reliable working relationship. Viktoria helps people talk through stress, anxiety, trauma and relationship concerns in a straightforward way.

She works in a person-centred manner and draws on a range of practical approaches to meet different needs. Sessions often include exploring feelings, identifying patterns that cause distress, and trying small changes that can make daily life easier. Viktoria also uses methods that look at thoughts and behaviours to tackle low mood, anxiety or unhelpful habits.

Many clients bring issues such as self-esteem, grief, parenting strain, addiction or difficulties with intimacy and communication. Viktoria also supports people dealing with chronic illness, body image concerns, ADHD-related challenges and the fallout of separation or abandonment. She aims to listen without judgement and help clients find clearer ways forward.

Viktoria works with people who identify as LGBT and has experience with survivors of abuse and trauma. She explains approaches plainly and invites clients to shape the focus of sessions together. Her background in motivational and solution-focused methods means she also helps people set practical goals and keep momentum.

Sessions are offered in English and Bulgarian in the United Kingdom. People who are considering starting can expect an initial conversation to agree aims, assess needs and plan the next steps together.

How therapeutic approaches inform online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, empathetic conversation where the client sets the pace and topics. It helps when someone needs a place to be heard and make sense of difficult experiences. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful behaviour. Motivational Interviewing helps people who feel stuck gain motivation for change by exploring their own reasons and strengths.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try approaches and adapt them as progress is made or priorities shift.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer flexibility for people who prefer not to be on camera or who have quieter spaces at certain times. Registered or accredited professionals aim to tailor sessions so therapy fits into everyday life and supports practical change.
