About me
I’m Kristiana Bencheva, a clinical and counseling psychologist with a deep-rooted passion for empowering individuals on their path to growth, healing, and self-leadership. With extensive experience supporting clients from diverse backgrounds, I specialize in guiding people through life’s complexities with clarity, compassion, and purpose.
As the President and Co-Founder of the Bulgarian Association for Reality Therapy, I’ve championed the principles of choice, responsibility, and internal motivation—actively contributing to the growth of Reality Therapy in Bulgaria and beyond. Currently advancing my qualifications as a certified Reality Therapist, I remain committed to delivering evidence-based, human-centered care that truly transforms lives.
My mission is to create safe, supportive spaces where people can reconnect with their inner strength, make empowered decisions, and move forward with confidence and integrity. Every person’s story matters—and I’m here to walk beside them as they write the next chapter.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Person-centered approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
In my counseling practice, I take a highly individualized, client-centered approach—because no two people are the same, and neither are their paths to healing. Grounded in the principles of Reality Therapy, my work focuses on helping you take ownership of your choices, reconnect with your inner strength, and create lasting, meaningful change.
I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, resilience, and transformation. My role is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can explore your experiences, gain clarity, and take empowered steps forward. Through compassion, honesty, and collaboration, we’ll work together to uncover what truly matters to you—and how to move toward it with purpose.
Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you. It’s about unlocking what’s already within you. Whether you're navigating stress, emotional challenges, relationship issues, or a desire for deeper fulfillment, I’ll walk beside you as a committed ally on your journey.
If you’re ready to take the first step toward real, sustainable change, I’m here to support you. Let’s begin this journey together.
