About Viktoria
Viktoria Kirilova is a BACP therapist practising in the United Kingdom with five years as a practising therapist and over a decade of experience in the wider mental health sector. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties, and lists young adult issues among her focus areas. Viktoria also supports those dealing with trauma, identity questions and addiction concerns.
Her approach is integrative and client-centred. She puts emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and on listening first. Sessions aim to help people make sense of their feelings and identify practical steps forward.
Viktoria uses several practical methods, including cognitive behavioural ideas, solution-focused work and trauma-informed tools. She draws from motivational interviewing to support change and to help clients weigh options. These methods are used flexibly and explained in simple terms during sessions.
People who come to her often want help managing life transitions such as leaving home, starting work or dealing with relationship shifts. She names issues like self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, grief and career worries among the areas she supports.
Viktoria sees therapy as collaborative. She works with each person to agree goals and ways of working. Her sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what matters now and next.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. It helps people clarify what matters to them and decide on the next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns.Viktoria also uses motivational interviewing to support people who want to make changes. This method helps weigh options and increases motivation by exploring personal reasons for change. Together these approaches give a mix of listening, practical tools and change-focused conversations.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. They will adjust methods as the work progresses so sessions reflect current needs.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking as the original profile does not list specific online formats. Ask about the session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can pick what fits your schedule and circumstances. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or other commitments, and they may offer quieter surroundings, reduced travel time or shorter check-ins when needed.
