The Psychologist You Can Trust

Welcome

Hello! My name is Dilyana, and I am a licensed psychologist. I practice cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), hypnotherapy, family counseling and sexology. I specialize in the field of traumatic experiences, stress, anxiety, partner relationships, teenagers' problems and more. I use techniques from schema therapy, motivational interviewing, and other approaches.

My Approach

My approach to clients is rooted in trust and empathy. My goal is to create a space where individuals feel accepted, free to express themselves, confront their fears and find motivation for personal growth. I believe that throughout life we encounter various situations and emotional states that, although seemingly challenging at first, can be overcome with the right support and goal-setting. Everyone has the power to develop the potential they hold. The joint work between client and therapist is a beautiful process of self-discovery and inspiration.
