Viktoria KirilovaBACP

Viktoria Kirilova is a counsellor who brings five years of direct therapeutic practice to her work. She holds BACP accreditation, and she focuses on creating a calm space where people can talk about what matters most to them. Viktoria often helps clients who are facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns, including issues linked to pregnancy and childbirth.

She describes her way of working as adaptable and centred on the person in front of her. Sessions begin by listening closely to the client's story and priorities. From there she uses straightforward methods to help people make sense of their feelings and spot small changes that can make a difference.

Viktoria draws on a mix of approaches, including client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused ideas. She also uses solution-focused steps and motivational interviewing to support practical goals. These methods are used to help with mood, coping, behaviour change and managing difficult memories.

Her background includes a range of settings in the mental health field, and she has experience working with young adults and LGBTQ+ people, as well as survivors of abuse and trauma. Viktoria places a lot of weight on the therapeutic relationship and on building trust so clients feel comfortable sharing sensitive material.

People who choose her often want a straightforward, collaborative style. She aims to help clients recognise patterns, learn simple tools, and take gradual steps toward change. Sessions are offered in English and Bulgarian in the United Kingdom.

How therapeutic approaches come to life online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can understand themselves better; it helps with low mood, relationship strain and decision-making. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and helps people test practical changes to reduce anxiety or alter unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and working through distressing memories and responses, supporting recovery after abuse or other traumatic events.

Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try things out and adjust methods as progress is made. That means the first sessions often focus on getting clear about what matters and which approach feels right.

For online work, please confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy day, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. Other practical benefits include easier scheduling across locations and the ability to use written or verbal tools between meetings to track progress. The therapist will discuss what will work best for the client's needs and routine.
