About Kristalina

Kristalina Karamfilova works on relationship and family issues, grief, parenting pressures, stress, anxiety, trauma and the effects of abuse. She uses person-centred work, psychodynamic ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and hypnotherapy to help people gain clarity and set firmer boundaries. Kristalina is registered with NCPS and has four years' experience in counselling and hypnotherapy.

She offers straightforward talking sessions that focus on understanding what has happened and what matters now. Sessions often look at patterns in relationships, how past experience shapes current reactions, and practical steps to manage distress. She helps clients clarify their decisions and reduce self-blame after upsetting relationships.

Her work draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic thinking. Hypnotherapy is used when it fits the client's goals and preferences. The therapist combines these methods to address emotions, behaviour and coping skills rather than following one fixed model.

Kristalina has worked in private and voluntary settings, and with adolescents in school contexts. She meets people from diverse cultural backgrounds and considers cultural factors in her discussions and planning. Her practice aims to be direct and practical while exploring deeper emotional themes.

Sessions are conducted in English and Kristalina accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people notice and change repeating dynamics in adult relationships. It is often useful for people wanting to understand attachment, abandonment or communication problems.

Client-Centred work focuses on listening and supporting the client's own priorities, helping them find clarity about decisions such as ending or staying in a relationship. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers concrete techniques to reduce anxiety, manage anger and change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try first, adapting the plan as sessions progress.

Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people choose whether to be on camera or use audio, which can help with concentration or reduce bandwidth use.
