Viktoria Kirilova , BACP

Viktoria Kirilova is an integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom who brings five years of direct therapeutic experience to her practice. She is a BACP member - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards in the UK. Viktoria tailors her work to each person she meets, combining evidence-informed tools with a client-centered stance so that therapy fits individual needs and circumstances.

She has worked with people of varied ages and backgrounds, including young adults, LGBT individuals, and survivors of abuse and traumatic events. Her clinical focus covers common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, addictions, self-esteem and grief, as well as life transitions and coping challenges.

Viktoria places emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, believing that a strong, respectful connection helps people feel able to explore their feelings and make sense of what they are experiencing. She works collaboratively to identify practical steps, build skills, and develop new perspectives so clients can move toward the outcomes they want. Therapy can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on client preference.

Approaches and Practical Benefits of Online Therapy

Viktoria works with a range of approaches to meet different needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where clients are encouraged to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace; it is helpful for building self-understanding and improving relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing practical strategies to change them; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the impact of past traumatic events through targeted techniques and careful pacing, offering support for those recovering from abuse or distressing experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Viktoria collaborates with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and she adapts methods over time to find the best fit. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into a busy life and to access therapists from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and allow people to engage in therapy in ways that suit their comfort and routine.
