Hristina Stoykova

Gestalt Psychotherapeutic Counsellor

MUKCP, PGDip

work with me

I am based in London and offer in-person and online Gestalt counselling to people over 18.

Some of what I can help you with include:

  • relationships, family dynamics, life transitions

  • grief, loss, anxiety, burnout, anger, loneliness

  • experiences of immigration, resettlement, belonging

  • self-esteem, identity exploration, sexuality, conflicting needs

  • traumatic experiences, PTSD, depression

  • This is an opportunity for us to meet and explore your needs, expectations and desires for our work together. It is also an opportunity to ask questions and have a sense of you with me as your counsellor.

  • I offer individual counselling sessions in person and online. All sessions are 50 min long and take place weekly.

    Contracts are short-term ( fixed number of sessions) or long-term (open ended contracts). This will depend on your needs and will be agreed in our exploratory session.

  • I also offer counselling in Bulgarian language.

    Please specify in the contact form if this is your preference.

about me

I am a qualified Gestalt counsellor and am continuing my development as a psychotherapist.

My work is grounded in the simple belief that nothing happens in isolation. I focus on relationships and how we shape and are shaped by them.

I honour the complexity of human existence. My approach is inclusive of all of the things that make you you. Whether these are labels, beliefs, feelings, thoughts, desires, judgments, diagnoses, your job, your family, your past, and fantasies about the future, they all have space in our work. With my support, you will find your way of making sense of the world within and around you. We will work together to find ways to expand your options and choices.

Much like the above, my style reflects the complexity of what you might need at different times. I will meet you with warmth, acceptance and a gentle challenge- all in service of your growth and increasing your capacity for whatever feels difficult to face on your own. 

If words fail to describe what is going on for you, I will support you in finding different ways to express yourself,  nurturing creativity and playfulness.
