Viktoria Kirilova is a counsellor who has worked in mental health for several years and has five years' experience as a practising therapist. She is registered with the BACP, which is shown as BACP, and focuses on tailoring sessions to each person's situation. Viktoria aims to help people make sense of their feelings and find practical ways forward.

She draws on approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to shape sessions. That means conversations that pay attention to what matters most to the client, alongside practical tools to manage thoughts and feelings. Viktoria often uses short, clear strategies and gentler trauma work when needed.

Her work covers a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and relationship difficulties. She also supports people dealing with grief, addictions, parenting strain, sleeping and eating issues, chronic pain, ADHD and changes in life circumstances. Viktoria lists LGBT and trauma and abuse among the issues she addresses.

In sessions she places importance on the therapeutic relationship and on creating a space where people can talk openly. Her style balances listening with practical suggestions and goal-focused steps when appropriate. Clients can expect an approach that adjusts to their pace and priorities.

Viktoria works in the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English and Bulgarian. Prospective clients should use the site matching process to confirm the current session arrangements before booking.

How Viktoria uses talking therapy approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they say and helps them feel heard. This approach is useful for people who need time to make sense of difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Sessions often include practical strategies and simple exercises to try between meetings. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people reduce the impact of past traumatic events. Work tends to move at the client’s pace and combines careful reflection with techniques to manage distressing memories and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
