Kristalina Karamfilova , NCPS

Kristalina Karamfilova is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting stress and life changes. She supports those coping with anxiety, trauma and low self-esteem. Her practice is also aimed at people dealing with career doubts, compassion fatigue and family problems.

She takes a straightforward, person-centred approach. Sessions focus on making sense of difficult emotions and clarifying what a person wants next. Kristalina helps clients notice patterns from their past that affect today, and she works with boundaries and practical steps to reduce overwhelm.

Her work draws on attachment ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic thinking. She also uses hypnotherapy when it fits a person's goals. The emphasis is on tailoring methods to the individual rather than following a single template.

Kristalina has four years of counselling experience and holds NCPS as a credential. She has worked in private, voluntary and school settings and with people from a range of cultural backgrounds. Her sessions aim to combine emotional listening with clear, manageable strategies.

People who choose to work with her will find a calm, attentive counsellor who encourages insight and practical change. Conversations tend to be direct and compassionate, focusing on building clearer thinking, firmer boundaries and step-by-step progress towards personal goals.

Approaches and online support for relationships and change

Kristalina uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early bonds shape adult relationships. This approach looks at patterns of closeness and distance and helps when abandonment, avoidance or trust issues are causing pain.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress and changing habits that keep someone stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the approach as progress is made. The process is collaborative and based on what someone finds most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or who prefer not to travel. Video calls let conversations feel close to face-to-face, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments while keeping focus on meaningful change.
