About Kristalina
Kristalina Karamfilova is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has four years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with relationship strain, family problems, grief, parenting pressures, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and issues like guilt and shame. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Kristalina uses a humanistic, person-centred stance that helps people name what feels wrong and decide what matters to them. She combines this with cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that repeat over time. Hypnotherapy may also be offered when it fits a person’s goals.
Her work often focuses on clarity around relationships, including the aftermath of controlling or narcissistic behaviour. She helps people think through boundaries, test perceptions, and reduce self-blame so decisions feel more grounded. Kristalina also addresses issues that come from family of origin, attachment difficulties, abandonment and identity questions across different cultural backgrounds.
Sessions tend to centre on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than labels. Conversations usually include reflecting on recent events, identifying patterns, and trying small experiments to change how people respond. The emphasis is on practical understanding, clearer choices and moving forward with less ongoing confusion.
Kristalina has worked in private and voluntary settings, and with adolescents in schools, which she draws on when helping adults manage caregiving stress, career strain, isolation or compassion fatigue. Her combined approaches aim to meet the immediate problem while also looking at longer standing patterns.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kristalina draws on attachment based work to look at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings. This approach helps when people want to understand why certain relationships trigger shame, guilt or repeated conflict.She also uses client centred methods that focus on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. That style is useful for sorting through confusing emotions and making clearer decisions about boundaries and steps forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kristalina will work collaboratively to match what she offers to the client’s needs, goals and preferences, and adjust methods as understanding grows.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also let people choose audio only or video depending on their quieter surroundings or bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, reflective work and CBT tasks to an online setting so therapy can fit more easily into everyday life.
