About Viktoria
Viktoria Kirilova is a counsellor who has worked in mental health for five years. She holds BACP accreditation and focuses on creating a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters to them. Her style is adaptable and centred on the individual rather than a rigid method.
Viktoria tailors sessions to each person's needs and pace. She places weight on the relationship between counsellor and client, and uses it as a starting point for change.
Background and approach
People come to her for help with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma, among other concerns. Her approach draws on several practical methods that help with thinking patterns and daily coping. She uses tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try out different behaviours.
She also works in a client-centred way, listening closely and helping people set their own goals. Viktoria has experience supporting people through grief, addictions, relationship and family problems, and issues linked to identity such as LGBT concerns. She is used to helping people manage sleep and eating difficulties, overwhelm at work, and burnout or compassion fatigue.
Sessions are offered in English and Bulgarian. For those concerned about how therapy will fit into life, Viktoria offers flexible online formats including video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. People who want to begin can select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Online support
She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in behaviour. CBT is practical and often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and stress-related issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Viktoria will discuss which methods feel useful and adapt them to a person’s goals and preferences. The focus is collaborative so clients can try different ways of working and see what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls work well when face-to-face conversation is helpful, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep contact between appointments.
