About Viktoria

Viktoria Kirilova is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of direct therapy experience. She holds BACP accreditation, and she focuses on making sessions personal and practical. Viktoria aims to help people untangle feelings and find clearer ways forward when life feels overwhelming.

She approaches each person as an individual and adapts her methods to what they need. Viktoria pays close attention to the therapeutic relationship and gives space for people to feel heard. That shared working alliance guides how she plans the next steps in therapy.

In sessions she uses straightforward tools to address stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction, codependency and issues around self-esteem and identity. Conversation and practical exercises are used to build new ways of coping and thinking.

Viktoria also works with concerns such as relationship problems, grief, intimacy-related worries, parenting pressures and career stress. She can help when life changes feel hard to manage, including when someone faces chronic illness or ongoing pain. The aim is to help people make sense of their experience and take small, workable steps forward.

She offers therapy in English and Bulgarian. Prospective clients can expect a calm, respectful approach that focuses on collaboration and gradual progress.

How Viktoria's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It helps people who need space to talk through feelings and rebuild trust in themselves. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right method is part of the process. Viktoria will work with the person to decide which approach fits their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can evolve as sessions progress.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and it may be simpler for those who prefer not to use video. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and conversations to suit remote sessions so that progress continues even when meeting online.
