About me
I have a never-ending interest in the fields of culture and languages, psychology, holistic health, integrative and nutritional medicine. Since the age of 15 I’ve lived, studied and worked in 7 different countries across 3 continents, and without a doubt the most I’ve learned about life and about myself has been through my migrant/expat experiences and interactions with people from all walks of life. And every time someone trusts me as their therapist, I continue to learn and grow – personally and professionally.
My educational background is in Psychology (University of British Columbia) and Socio-Cultural Studies (University of Groningen/Krakow), followed by a training in professional counselling/psychotherapy (Vancouver College). I am a member of the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada and the International Association for Counselling; I have been working exclusively in the field of mental health for over 5 years – initially at an NGO for family therapy and as part of a holistic clinic team, consequently in my private practice BMpowered Counselling which I founded in Vancouver, Canada.
As I travel back and forth between Europe and Canada I currently offer online sessions, meeting clients from around the world, time zones permitting. I offer sessions in English (native), Bulgarian (native), Italian (advanced) and have a working-level knowledge of French.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Trauma Informed CareRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.
Influenced by my previous academic and work background, in my initial assessment and ongoing support I take into consideration not only personal factors, but also various aspects of clients’ socio-cultural context, and the effects those have on wellbeing. I am a firm believer that mind and body cannot be separated, and in my work I help you expand your awareness of that connection and also what lies beyond your rational mind through powerful somatic, breathwork and mindfulness practices, or other holistic modalities. As a certified integrative mental health practitioner (CIMHP) I also offer nutritional therapy wellness plans aimed at enhancing the benefits of the psycho-therapeutic interventions employed during sessions. I take a non-diagnostic approach, and hence I see YOU – the client as the expert of your own life, having the power to self-heal and find solutions within yourself with my support. My aim as your therapist is to build a relationship of trust and collaboration, and to hold a space in which you feel safe to explore your experiences and authentic self.
It's important to me that we feel we are a good fit for each other. I invite you to reach out and book a FREE 20 min consultation call to discuss your unique circumstances and find out how I’d be able to support your needs. You may also message me with your preferences for days/times that would be most suitable for your schedule and I'll do my best to accommodate those. If you are a student or someone experiencing financial difficulties feel free to inquire about my sliding scale.
