Viktoria Kirilova, BACP

Viktoria Kirilova is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of direct therapy experience. She holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP, and focuses on tailoring sessions to each person she meets. Viktoria aims to help people make sense of their feelings and find practical ways forward.

She draws on an integrative approach, mixing client-centred listening with clearer, goal-focused techniques. Sessions are built around what the individual needs, so some people work on short-term goals while others take a slower, reflective route. Viktoria places importance on the therapeutic relationship and creates a calm space for people to talk about difficult things.

Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression and trauma and abuse, alongside self-esteem, addictions and relationship issues. She also supports people facing parenting strain, grief, eating and sleeping problems, career stress and major life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and codependency.

Her methods include Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. These approaches are used flexibly to match the problem at hand and the person’s preferences. Sessions may combine listening, practical tools and step-by-step planning.

Viktoria offers work in English and Bulgarian. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Therapy sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and location-based pricing may vary.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflects feelings and helps them name and understand their experience. This approach is useful for building trust and talking through difficult emotions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, works by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical steps. It uses short exercises and clear strategies to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. People often use CBT for stress, sleep problems and mood management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The counsellor will discuss options, try methods that fit the person’s goals and adjust if something does not feel helpful. It is a collaborative process that balances listening with practical tools.

Online sessions can be organised as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for a fuller conversational feel, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit brief check-ins and text messaging is useful for ongoing, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and practical support.
