Whether you harbour interest in the unconscious because you have noticed repetitive patterns in your life and have no clue how you always get there, or psychodynamic work is your last resort in a series of interventions - dedicating time and effort to a deeper process might be a sign that you decided to put more value on yourself. To all that you are – the successful professional, or the caring parent and a partner, but also to those parts of your being that are usually excluded and feel unrecognized or unappreciated, who often suffer in silence the burden of “carry on”.
My clinical experience has put me in contact with people from various backgrounds and walks of life, making their way through a plethora of complex situations. I am experienced in working with loss and trauma, psychosomatic symptoms and difficulties in relationships - intimate or parent-child, adoption. RecentIy, I also focus on immigration and identities.
If you think I might be the counsellor for you, you are welcome to request a 15-minute free initial meeting. These will be remote, but if a decision is made to engage in counselling, I would recommend that you come in person.
Thank you for reading, and I look forward to our meeting.
I started my professional development in psychology nearly 20 years ago, and ever since I am committed to improving my clinical skills and providing better care for my patients by continuously advancing my training.
I hold a Bachelor (Honours) degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in "Clinical psychology - psychoanalytic perspective" from New Bulgarian University, Sofia, Bulgaria.
In 2020 I obtained a PgDip with Merit in „Foundations of Psychodynamic psychotherapy“ from the University of Essex and The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK. Currently, I am completeng the "Inter-cultural psychodynamic psychotherapy" clinical training at the Tavistock Centre and the NHS.
For the last ten years I gained clinical experience in the public sector, the NHS and in private practice, both in Bulgaria and in the UK.
