About Me

As an experienced clinical psychologist, I support individuals navigating trauma, depression, substance misuse, and anxiety. I believe therapy is most effective when it truly fits you. We will work together, exploring your unique experiences to tailor interventions that genuinely meet your needs. This person-centred approach offers a safe, collaborative space where you can feel heard. It helps you develop practical strategies for lasting well-being, moving forward at your own pace.

Approach

Our work focuses on matching techniques to your experience, unfolding gently as you feel ready. I offer sessions in Bulgarian, English and Italian from Veliko Tarnovo and online, so we can choose a setting that feels practical and culturally respectful. Sessions blend careful assessment with collaborative problem‑solving — short, focused steps for mood, pain or addiction‑related challenges, and simple reflections or tasks between meetings to track change. People facing trauma, cross‑cultural strain or persistent anxiety often find this steady, adaptive pace helpful.
