Areas of work
As a psychotherapist in Sofia, I can support you with:
Anxiety, stress and burnout
Panic attacks, chronic inner restlessness, compulsive overthinking, sleep problems and burnout from carrying too much responsibility.
Low mood and emotional exhaustion
A sense of heaviness, greyness and joylessness, constant tiredness that sleep doesn’t fix, and a loss of motivation.
Relationships, boundaries and attachment
Recurring painful patterns, fear of rejection, difficulty saying “no”, “eldest daughter syndrome” and suppressed anger. I work with individuals as well as with couples.
Psychosomatics and the mind–body connection
Medically unexplained symptoms, chronic muscle tension, headaches and feeling cut off from your own vitality.
Perfectionism and a constant inner critic
The feeling that you are never good enough, chasing impossible standards and living under constant inner pressure.
Suppressed anger and difficulty standing up for yourself
The habit of piling up compromises to keep the peace in relationships, until the suppressed emotions turn into physical tension or outbursts.
Personal growth, identity and life transitions
Going through separation, loss or a crisis of meaning, and finding your way back to your true self beyond other people’s expectations.

Get in touch
An integrative approach with a scientific foundation
Because every person is a unique whole of thoughts, emotions and bodily experience, I combine five main therapeutic orientations in my practice:
Psychosomatic orientation and body psychotherapy
Neo-Reichian and bioenergetic approach
The core of my work. It focuses on the deep connection between body and emotions: releasing the “muscular armour” and chronic tension, working with the breath and building a felt sense of support (grounding), which helps the nervous system process accumulated stress and trauma.
Psychoanalytic and psychodynamic perspective
Exploring unconscious processes, early childhood experiences and attachment patterns.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
Working with the thought patterns and beliefs that keep anxiety and compulsive control going.
Humanistic and existential perspective
Creating a warm, non-judgemental space in which to reconnect with your authentic needs.
Systemic and family therapy perspective
Sees a person not in isolation but in the context of their relationships, family environment and generational patterns. It helps us understand how the unconscious roles we took on in childhood shape our present life, boundaries and partnerships.
