Kristalina Karamfilova
Compassionate, practical support for relationship and life change
About Kristalina
Kristalina Karamfilova offers help for people dealing with relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, anxiety, trauma and major life changes. She supports those coping with anger, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and compassion fatigue. Kristalina uses practical conversation and gentle direction to help people name what feels wrong and decide on next steps.
She keeps sessions straightforward and person-centred. Conversations focus on understanding patterns, strengthening boundaries and building clearer choices. Kristalina draws on client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in personal and voluntary settings and in schools with adolescents. That mix has given experience with people from varied cultural backgrounds and life situations. Kristalina has four years of practice and holds NCPS as a listed credential.
She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how earlier relationships shape current reactions. When helpful, hypnotherapy is offered as an additional tool to support relaxation and focused change work. Treatment plans are adapted to each person's needs and goals rather than following a fixed script.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person. People can expect clear explanations, practical exercises to try between sessions and regular check-ins about progress. The focus is on making steady, manageable changes that fit everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Kristalina often combines client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own answers, which can be useful for processing grief, relationship confusion and low self-worth. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and offers practical exercises to try between sessions, which helps with anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristalina will discuss options, try methods and adapt the plan based on what a person needs and prefers. The process is collaborative so clients help shape what feels most helpful as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video is good for a conversational therapy session, phone calls can fit a shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat work for ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping continuity with a single therapist.
