Tsveta Encheva, BACP

Tsveta Encheva offers a calm, person-centred way of working that is combined with practical Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques. She aims to make therapy straightforward and down to earth. Tsveta speaks English and Bulgarian and brings five years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom.

Her sessions focus on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and mood difficulties such as bipolar disorder and panic. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, sleep problems and the emotional impact of life changes. Intimacy and relationship concerns, parenting pressures and career-related stress are within her areas of attention.

Tsveta uses person-centred listening to ensure people feel heard and respected. She then introduces CBT tools to help identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits. Mindfulness and somatic techniques are offered when people want ways to calm the body and notice physical reactions to stress.

Practical problem-solving is also part of the work when people want quicker strategies to move forward. Solution-focused ideas help set short-term goals and track small changes. The combination aims to balance emotional support with clear steps that can be practised between sessions.

Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different routines. Tsveta works with people from varied backgrounds and accepts international clients, tailoring her approach to each person’s goals and circumstances.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Tsveta often combines Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to and understood without judgement, which helps people explore feelings and build self-trust. CBT breaks down unhelpful thinking patterns and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, panic and low mood.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice bodily sensations and be present with difficult feelings. Mindfulness techniques can reduce rumination and improve sleep and stress management when practised between sessions. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful before suggesting a plan.

Online sessions can be adapted to each person's routine. Video calls suit deeper conversations when visual contact matters. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow frequent, brief contact and can fit into busy days. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, study and caregiving commitments.
