Kristalina Karamfilova, NCPS

Kristalina Karamfilova is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, stress and carer fatigue. She also supports those dealing with anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and life changes. Kristalina works in English and accepts international clients from the United Kingdom.

She creates a calm, supportive space where people can talk through upsetting experiences. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, setting clearer boundaries and making practical choices that feel right for the client. Conversation is straightforward and aimed at helping people feel less overwhelmed by decisions and emotions.

Her practice draws on person-centred ideas alongside cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic approaches. Hypnotherapy is used when it fits a person’s goals and preferences. This mix is adapted to the needs of each person rather than applied the same way to everyone.

Kristalina has four years' experience working in private and voluntary settings, and with adolescents in schools. Her work includes attention to cultural context and the realities carers face, including compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.

People who come to Kristalina often want practical clarity about relationships, help recovering after hurtful dynamics, or support managing changing responsibilities. She aims to help clients grow insight, strengthen boundaries and move toward daily routines that feel more manageable.

How these approaches translate to online support

Attachment-based work focuses on how early connections shape how people relate now. Online sessions can be used to notice unhelpful patterns and practise different ways of connecting and setting boundaries. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of each session, offering a non-judgemental space to speak and be heard; this approach helps with emotional processing and decision-making. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people try small changes between sessions to see what helps most.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, aims and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins around work or caring responsibilities. It also lets people use visual tools, worksheets and paced breathing exercises during a session. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises so they can be practised between sessions to support steady progress.
