Mrs Радина Ефремова

Therapist / Counsellor (Qualifying)

“My approach is dialogical and non-directive. I try to create safe environment for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings and make sense of their experiences. Together, we look for ways to address their current situation by strengthening their awareness and developing tools for self reflection.”

About me

I offer a calm, non-directive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. We'll work together to make sense of your experiences, strengthening your awareness of what’s happening for you. This collaborative process helps you develop practical tools for self-reflection, gain clarity and new ways to navigate your current situation. If you're seeking a gentle guide to understand yourself better, I'm here to support you.

Approach

My approach is grounded in the present moment, while staying aware of how the past and your current context shape your patterns. Together, we’ll build awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and bodily signals so you can make clearer choices, shift unhelpful patterns, and reconnect with yourself. In our sessions, we may explore unconscious limiting beliefs or unrealistic self-concepts, while also paying attention to your body’s sensations, as they often provide valuable insights into your emotional and mental state. We’ll focus on what is within your control and your personal responsibility. I try to stay flexible and apply integrative approach depending on your unique needs and situation. In between sessions, I may encourage practices or individually crafted reflexions or excersisies such as journaling, meditation or reading. These are meant to support your progress and deepen the insights gained in our work together.
