A Bulgarian who has lived in the USA, France and Singapore for over 30 years with extensive experience working in multi-cultural settings and with a wide range of nationalities. She understands the challenges of expatriate parenting and living from both personal and professional experience.

About Me

As a Counsellor with a PhD and over 20 years living in Singapore, I understand the complexities of multi-cultural life. Having worked with many nationalities, I grasp the unique challenges of expatriate parenting and life transitions. I offer a space where your unique journey is met with both personal insight and professional expertise. This makes me a good match for those navigating the nuances of life abroad.

Approach

I help you map practical steps and emotional reactions into manageable conversations that respect cultural and personal nuances. In Sofia or online, in Bulgarian or English, sessions feel conversational, steady and focused — we work at a pace that balances immediate coping with gentle exploration. Between meetings you’ll often try small experiments, brief reflections or family adjustments we review together, keeping change measurable and doable. People juggling moves, parenting abroad or career stress tend to find this collaborative rhythm useful.
