An English-speaking therapist for people in Sofia, Bulgaria

Online therapy for Sofia: the practical details

Fees are in pounds sterling. Your payment provider may apply currency conversion or other charges. See fees and the starting process before booking.

Bulgarian roots, with space for your own experience

I grew up in Bulgaria and now live in the UK. That background gives me a personal connection to the language and to life between countries. It also means I know that people’s experiences of the same place can be very different.

You might have moved to Sofia for work, joined a Bulgarian partner or returned after years elsewhere. The questions may involve belonging, independence, family expectations or feeling different when you speak another language. I will ask what those things mean in your life.

You can read about my background and therapeutic approach and check my BACP directory profile. BACP registration is a UK professional reference point. It is not a claim that I hold a local clinic or a Bulgarian professional licence.

What would you like help with?

If you and your partner come from different cultures

You may have different expectations about family involvement, privacy, money, visits or where your future should be. We can make those expectations explicit without assuming that one country or family represents the right way to live.

I will ask each of you to describe your experience. A Bulgarian background does not mean I automatically share one partner’s view or speak on their behalf. Both people need room to be understood.

For joint work, both partners attend the free consultation. Individual background meetings follow before joint sessions, with their fees and confidentiality arrangements agreed first. Read more about cross-cultural couples therapy.

Privacy, suitability and booking from Bulgaria

Before we begin, I check where you will physically attend from, whether the proposed work fits your needs and the relevant professional and insurance conditions. We agree how confidentiality works and what to do if local support is needed. Read online therapy abroad: suitability.

You need a place where you can speak safely and privately. If you would prefer to write, written counselling is £50 per week for one personal reply from me through Carepatron on an agreed day, subject to suitability. It is not live chat or emergency support.

When you enquire, include that you are in Bulgaria and the times you are available. A brief description of your concern is enough to start. You do not need to send your whole history in an initial message.
