About Viktoria

Viktoria Kirilova is a BACP counsellor who has worked in the mental health field for five years as a practising therapist. She frames her work around each person's needs and takes time to build a trusting relationship. Viktoria focuses on helping people make sense of their feelings so they can move forward. She lists areas including sexual dysfunction among many other concerns.

Viktoria uses an integrative approach that draws on several methods to match what a person needs in the room. She often emphasises listening first, then helping clients identify practical steps to try between sessions. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-aware, with space to reflect and plan small changes.

She has experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and self-esteem problems. Other areas she lists include intimacy-related issues, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, anger and career matters. Viktoria also notes work around ADHD, bipolar and chronic health difficulties.

Viktoria speaks English and Bulgarian and offers therapy from within the United Kingdom. Her registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. If you want a therapist who adapts methods to your situation, she can help you talk through what matters now.

To begin, clients follow the site process to match with a therapist and then schedule sessions according to availability. The initial practical steps include a short questionnaire and arranging the first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding someone’s perspective. It helps people feel heard and to clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to try between sessions. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and can be useful for addictions and ambivalence.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That way sessions stay relevant and focused on what the client wants to achieve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simple to maintain continuity of care when life is busy, while keeping sessions focused on practical change and emotional processing.
