About Viktoria
Viktoria Kirilova is a counsellor who brings five years of direct therapy experience to her work. She holds BACP accreditation, and she focuses on tailoring sessions to each person’s needs. Viktoria speaks English and Bulgarian and works from the United Kingdom.
She aims to build a steady working relationship where people can speak openly about what troubles them. Viktoria emphasises listening first, then helping clients make sense of their feelings.
Background and approach
She offers practical ways to cope, not just explanations. Her day-to-day practice covers a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and addictions.
She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, attention difficulties such as ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and body image. Viktoria uses straightforward psychotherapy methods to support change. She draws on client-centred work to prioritise each person’s experience.
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and solution-focused ideas to set practical goals and small steps. Sessions can be conversational and goal-oriented, depending on what a person needs. People who want a calm, steady guide through difficult feelings tend to find this approach helpful.
Viktoria describes her role as helping clients explore their situation and find solutions that fit their life. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Therapy is offered via several online formats so appointments can fit around daily life.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s experience. The therapist follows what matters to the client, reflecting feelings back and helping people feel understood. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through confusing or painful emotions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It uses simple, practical strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress when people want clear tools to manage daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that suit each person. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is helpful when visual contact matters, phone calls work well with lower bandwidth, and messaging can suit quick check-ins or paced communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and busy days while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
