Teodora Marinova

My approach is grounded in Gestalt Therapy, and thus our focus will be on the 'here and now.' We won’t just talk about your problems and your past, but we will also explore how you experience emotions and bodily sensations in the present moment. In this way, your therapy will not only involve intellectual sharing, but also a lived, transformative experience.

Additionally, I incorporate Family Structural Constellations. This allows us to look beyond the individual and explore the 'invisible' threads of your family system. By visualizing these dynamics, we can identify inherited patterns or 'entanglements' that might be holding you back, helping you find your rightful place within your own life story, living with authenticity, freedom and strength.

I am a psychologist, Gestalt consultant and psychotherapist working under supervision. I conduct consultations, psychotherapy sessions, family constellations and couple’s therapy in a private practice in Sofia. I also work online, in Bulgarian and in English. I work with the following topics: • Anxiety and panic attacks • Difficulties in relationships with parents, children, friends • Working with your different social roles - parent, child, partner, professional • Difficulties in socializing • Going through a difficult life moment (loss of a loved one, job loss, divorce, separation) • Problems with the sense of identity and self-esteem • Burnout and problems at work • Anger management and emotional regulation • Codependency and attachment styles • Recovery from narcissistic abuse • Transgenerational trauma • Depression
