Kristalina Karamfilova, NCPS

Kristalina Karamfilova is a humanistic counsellor and hypnotherapist who supports people facing emotional distress, relationship challenges and the aftermath of narcissistic abuse. She works with adults and adolescents from a variety of cultural backgrounds, offering a calm, nonjudgmental space where difficult feelings and confusing relationship dynamics can be explored and made clearer. Kristalina helps clients develop insight, strengthen personal boundaries and regain a sense of empowerment through increased psychological clarity.

Whether a relationship is ongoing or has ended, she assists individuals in processing the intense emotions that follow and in understanding the patterns that contributed to their experience. Her work addresses how toxic dynamics can undermine self-trust and leave people doubting their perceptions, and she guides clients toward making sense of those experiences so they can move forward with greater peace about their decisions.

Kristalina integrates humanistic, person-centered principles with evidence-informed techniques from cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic approaches, and she incorporates hypnotherapy when appropriate to support clients' goals. She describes her practice as culturally aware and individually tailored, drawing on experience in private and voluntary settings with adults as well as with adolescents in school contexts. Kristalina holds NCPS, a recognised counselling credential that reflects her professional training and commitment to practice.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s own experiences and values guide the work; it helps with self-esteem, relationship issues, life transitions and finding personal meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is commonly used for anxiety, stress, low mood and coping with difficult life situations. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to support changes in thinking patterns, habits and emotional responses, and it can be incorporated to complement other therapeutic work when appropriate.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Kristalina works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts methods across these approaches to suit the individual, drawing on person-centered principles alongside evidence-informed techniques.

Online therapy with Kristalina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving clients flexible options to attend sessions from home or while traveling. These formats increase accessibility and make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life, and they allow registered professionals to provide consistent, supportive treatment to people in different locations.
