FAQ
Absolutely! Seeking support does not mean you are weak or “crazy” – on the contrary, it is a sign of awareness and self-care. Counseling is not just for moments of crisis – it is and has the potential to help you get to know yourself, better understand your thoughts, emotions and reactions, and hear a different perspective on topics that are important to you.
Therapy with a psychologist is a space where you can feel understood and heard without judgment. Together we will explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to find new ways to cope with the challenges in your life.
The first meeting is relaxed, unburdening, and completely led by me – you don’t need to prepare in advance. It is evaluative and exploratory, where we will explore your experiences, thoughts, and emotions, without pressure to share more than you are comfortable with.
Ще получите нова перспектива, ще очертаем посоките за работа и ще обсъдим как терапията може да ви помогне.
I work on a variety of topics, including:
- Емоционални състояния: тревожност, паник атаки, хроничен стрес, страхове, фобии.
- Самочувствие и вътрешен свят: ниска самооценка, самосаботаж, трудности при вземане на решения.
- Взаимоотношения: семейни конфликти, раздяла, загуба на близък човек.
- Психосоматични симптоми: физически неразположения с емоционален произход.
- Житейски предизвикателства и кариерен избор:
- Обърканост относно бъдещето и житейския път
- Несигурност в кариерен или личен избор
- Липса на мотивация и усещане за застой
- Търсене на смисъл и посока
A standard consultation lasts 60 minutes – enough time to explore the topics that matter to you without feeling overwhelmed.
How long we continue is entirely up to you – what results you want to achieve and where you want to go together. Some people come for a few sessions to get guidance for a specific situation, while others prefer a longer-term process where we explore deeper internal patterns.
A single session can give you more clarity and a new perspective, but long-term change usually requires more work and time.
No, therapy is not just silence on my part. I actively participate in the conversation – I ask questions, I guide, I offer different perspectives. We work as a team and together we explore the thoughts, emotions and patterns that affect you. This is not just a monologue on your part, but a common path that we walk together.
Therapy goes through several key stages:
- Connecting your current difficulties with your personal history – we explore how past experiences influence your emotions, behavior, and thoughts today.
- Becoming aware of self-sabotaging patterns – we identify habits, fears, or automatic responses that may be holding you back.
- Working toward change – we discover new, healthier ways to cope with challenges.
- Deepening and Sustainability – the process is individual, but over time you will feel more clarity, ease and confidence
Няма маловажни проблеми, когато те ви тревожат и засягат вашето вътрешно състояние. Дори най-малките притеснения могат да тежат или да крият по-дълбоки въпроси, за които не сте се замисляли.
Working with a psychologist is not just for “big” problems. If something makes you feel uneasy, confused, or burdened – it means it’s worth paying attention to.
Yes, confidentiality is a fundamental principle in the work. The only exception is if there is a risk to your safety or the safety of another person.
Yes, you can choose between an in-person meeting or an online consultation, depending on what is more convenient for you.
You can contact me via phone, email, or the contact form on the website. You can also book an appointment directly through Superdoc. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
This is a question that many people ask themselves. I understand how difficult it is to feel this way and that you may already be exhausted. It is completely natural to seek reassurance that things will get better. Change is possible, but it is an individual process – it depends on your experiences, environment, motivation and the pace at which you feel comfortable working on yourself. Sometimes you feel relief right away, other times it takes more process. I can’t promise a quick or magical solution, but I can support you in finding ways that will help you feel better.
