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 her work on helping people make sense of difficult feelings and find practical ways forward. Viktoria aims to build a calm, steady relationship so people can talk openly about what matters to them.
She works in an integrative way, choosing approaches to match each person's needs. Her practice includes help with sleep and rest concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression and bereavement. Viktoria also supports people with trauma and abuse, addiction issues, eating and body image concerns, and the challenges of parenting and career change.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented when needed. Viktoria uses client-centred listening to understand each person's priorities and then brings in structured techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work to try practical steps. Motivational interviewing can help when someone is finding change hard to start.
Her style is warm and straightforward. She pays attention to attachment and relational issues and to patterns such as avoidance or codependency that keep people stuck. Sleep and rest are considered alongside emotional and behavioural factors, so plans often include small habit changes as well as talking through underlying worries.
Viktoria speaks English and Bulgarian. She works with a wide range of concerns including LGBT issues, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD and compassion fatigue, and she helps people cope with life transitions and relationship pressures.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience first. The counsellor offers empathy and reflects what comes up so clients feel heard and can explore their thoughts and feelings more clearly.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It involves simple exercises and small behaviour changes that can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to support someone who wants to make a change. It helps to clarify personal reasons for change and to build confidence in taking the first steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Viktoria will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed as work progresses so plans can be adjusted together.
