Kristalina Karamfilova, NCPS

Kristalina Karamfilova NCPS offers supportive counselling for people facing big life shifts and emotional strain. She helps with relationship difficulties, grief, parenting stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and the disorientation that can come in midlife. Her style is calm and straightforward, aimed at helping people make clearer choices and feel steadier day to day.

She frames sessions around what the client needs most. Conversations focus on clearer thinking, healthier boundaries and practical steps to reduce distress. She draws on person-centred ideas that keep the client’s experience central, together with cognitive behavioural techniques to change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Her background includes four years working in both private and voluntary settings, and with adolescents in school environments. The credential shown is NCPS, which is listed as part of her professional details. She works with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and pays attention to how culture shapes relationships and identity.

Karamfilova also uses psychodynamic ideas to help people understand repeating patterns, and she may offer hypnotherapy where it fits a client’s goals. Sessions aim to build insight and practical coping skills rather than promise quick fixes.

People making the first contact are guided through a brief matching process and scheduling. Therapy is presented as a collaborative effort to help clients find direction, set boundaries and move forward with greater clarity.

How these therapies translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work pays attention to how relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can be used to identify patterns from early connections and practice new ways of relating to others.

Client-centred work puts the person’s experience at the heart of therapy. In remote sessions this means the counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is heard and helps the client set the pace and goals for change.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying practical exercises to change behaviour. Online meetings can include brief tools and homework tasks to test new ways of thinking between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and they will adjust methods as therapy progresses in a collaborative way.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. It also lets people choose shorter or longer appointments to suit work and family routines, and to try approaches that work well over distance such as reflective conversation and CBT exercises.
