About Kristalina

Kristalina Karamfilova is a counsellor who specialises in parenting concerns and a range of related issues. She supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, anxiety, stress and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. Her approach aims to help people clarify what they feel, set boundaries and regain a sense of control in daily life.

She offers a straightforward, calm space to talk through difficult experiences. Sessions focus on making sense of confusing dynamics, reducing self-blame and building practical steps forward.

Background and approach

Conversations are rooted in the client’s pace and priorities rather than a fixed agenda. Kristalina draws on several therapy styles to match what each person needs. She uses client-centred listening to understand a person’s experience, cognitive techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking, and psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns that repeat today.

Hypnotherapy is available when it fits the person’s goals. Her work covers common parenting strains such as caregiver stress, communication problems and conflicts tied to family of origin. She also addresses feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness and isolation that can come with major life changes or midlife transition.

Kristalina has four years of experience and holds NCPS as a listed credential. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. People may find her practical guidance useful when they want clearer thinking and steadier routines amid family stress.

Online support

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape your expectations in close relationships. Online work can help identify patterns in parenting and partnerships and build more supported ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathic listening and following the person’s pace. In a video or phone session this helps people feel heard and to choose what to explore next. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises. It works well online because homework, thought records and short skill practices can be shared and reviewed between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit your goals, background and current needs. That may mean blending styles or trying a short period of one approach to see if it feels helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let you use face-to-face interaction for detailed work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, quick coping tools or people who find writing helps them organise thoughts. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily routines.
