About Viktoria

Viktoria Kirilova is a BACP counsellor who has worked in mental health for five years. She brings a calm, adaptable style and focuses on what each person needs. Viktoria aims to make conversations straightforward and compassionate so people can talk about hard things without judgement.

She uses a mix of Trauma-Focused Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, choosing methods to suit the issue and the person. Sessions are shaped around practical steps as well as understanding feelings.

Background and approach

Viktoria pays attention to the relationship in therapy and works to build trust early on. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, from anxiety and depression to trauma and addiction. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and career or life transitions.

Viktoria describes the work as collaborative and paced to the individual. Viktoria offers sessions in English and Bulgarian and works with adults in the United Kingdom. Therapy can include short-term goal work or longer exploration depending on what a person needs.

She encourages clear communication about goals and progress so sessions feel purposeful. To begin, Viktoria asks people to reflect on what they want to change and what matters to them. From there she helps map out next steps, using direct tools and listening closely to how things feel in the moment.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your needs

Viktoria commonly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing events and reduce their impact on daily life. This approach focuses on understanding how past events affect current feelings and behaviour, and on building coping skills to manage symptoms.

She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy which centres the conversation on the person in front of her. That means listening closely, reflecting what she hears and working at the client’s pace so they feel heard and understood.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to change behaviour. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep or patterns that keep problems going.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Viktoria will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods as the therapy progresses. The collaboration helps people try practical steps while also understanding deeper patterns.

Online therapy can make attending sessions easier. Video calls support conversation and visual connection, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options give flexible ways to fit therapy around work, family or travel, and allow different rhythms of support depending on the moment.
