About Me

Life brings unique challenges, and my passion is to help you navigate them. I offer a welcoming space to explore difficulties and find a way forward. My extensive experience supports people from all ages, cultures, and social backgrounds. This means I tailor my approach to your unique needs. We can work together to understand your situation and build practical strategies. My aim is to create a truly supportive environment where you feel heard, helping you move towards greater well-being.

Approach

When we meet, sessions are practical and paced to your needs, combining careful psychodiagnostic assessment with focused individual work that honours your background. I offer appointments in Bulgarian and English, in Plovdiv or online, so we can keep momentum between meetings with brief tasks or reflections that reinforce change. Therapy centres on understanding patterns—anxiety, mood shifts, trauma responses, addictive or relational cycles—and developing small, realistic steps you can try. This way of working suits people wanting steady, culturally respectful support.
