Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Welcome
Hello, I’m Gergana. I have extensive experience supporting clients through existential and relationship challenges, spirituality, and personal growth. My therapeutic practice embraces diverse ways of knowing and collaboration, drawing on creative, embodied, and talking methods. I believe we all have an innate capacity for growth, healing, and emotional well-being, which flourishes in a warm, caring, and non-judgmental space—a space we will co-create together.
My Background
Over the past 20 years, I have worked as a psychologist, social worker, counselor, talking therapist, and art psychotherapist, helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, transitions, and emotional distress.
My work is rooted in a humanistic and integrative approach, drawing from Person-Centered, Emotion-Focused, Process-Experiential, Expressive Arts Therapy, Psychodynamic, and Jungian perspectives. Rather than adhering to a single framework, I tailor my approach to each individual, integrating creative, embodied, and verbal methods to support deep healing and transformation.
I work with international clients from all over the world, offering individual and couples therapy. My belief is that therapy is a co-created process—a dynamic space where clients feel truly heard, understood, and empowered
My Approach
While I bring extensive training and therapeutic knowledge, I see my role as a facilitator rather than an expert on my clients’ experiences. My practice is not about imposing solutions but about collaboratively exploring meaning, patterns, and unconscious processes, allowing for insight, growth, and self-discovery.
What I love most about being a therapist is the privilege of witnessing personal growth and transformation. It is deeply meaningful to walk alongside someone as they navigate their inner world, uncover insights, and reconnect with their strengths. Every person’s journey is unique, and I feel honored to co-create a space of safety, reflection, and self-discovery where you can explore your thoughts and emotions authentically.
I am especially drawn to the depth and authenticity of therapeutic encounters, where real, unfiltered emotions can be expressed and understood. Witnessing someone gain clarity, reclaim their voice, or experience a moment of self-acceptance is profoundly moving. Therapy fosters a deep sense of connection—not just between therapist and client, but also within the client’s own relationship with themselves.
Authenticity & Exploration
Authenticity is central to my practice. Being genuine in the therapeutic space allows for a deeper connection and ensures that clients feel truly seen and understood. I strive to model authenticity in my interactions, encouraging clients to bring their whole selves into the process without fear of judgment.
Rather than imposing answers, I offer insights and perspectives that invite exploration. Every individual has their own path, and my role is to help you see things from different angles, opening doors to deeper self-awareness and moments of profound insight and growth.
Collaboration, Flow and Directivity
Therapy is a collaborative process that can take many forms. On one end, there are structured approaches—focused on specific goals, techniques, and strategies to modify behaviors or achieve clear outcomes. On the other, there is a more unstructured, process-led approach, where our conversation unfolds naturally and deeper insights emerge over time. My practice leans toward the process-led side. I prioritize creating a reflective space where the journey itself is as important as any destination. That said, if your main focus is behavior modification or you’re looking for highly directive guidance, a more structured approach might be more beneficial.
The Importance of the Therapeutic Relationship
Therapy is not just about techniques or specific approaches—it is the relationship between client and therapist that fosters healing and transformation. Research consistently shows that the effectiveness of therapy is most strongly linked to the quality of this relationship rather than any particular method. We are born in relationship, we develop in relationship, and our healing also happens within a relational space. The most meaningful growth happens in a space of trust, safety, and connection.
Just as we absorb behaviors from our environment, therapy provides a space to explore patterns that are no longer serving and cultivate new, more fitting ways of relating to ourselves and others. In therapy, even seemingly small actions—like lateness, missing a session, or assumptions—can often be subtle projections of deeper patterns. These behaviors may reflect important tendencies in how we relate to ourselves and the world around us. It’s possible that the way we show up in therapy mirrors how we engage with others in our personal and professional lives. This is why, if feelings of judgment arise or certain patterns of behavior become noticeable, they could be significant markers of underlying relational dynamics. Bringing these tendencies into the light is not about self-criticism but about self-awareness. To make the best use of therapy, it’s essential to have the courage to name these natural, often unconscious processes and approach them with curiosity. This exploration can open up valuable insights into how we interact with others, and help us create healthier, more authentic relationships. Therapy becomes a gift when we explore these patterns with openness, recognizing that they offer opportunities for growth and healing.
The Importance of a Good Fit
A key cornerstone of our work together is establishing a genuine, collaborative therapeutic relationship. This co-creation is vital—without a strong connection and mutual understanding, even the best techniques can fall short. It’s essential that we feel a true fit before we begin our work. You should feel safe, heard, and supported from the very first interaction, and I encourage you to assess this fit both at the beginning and throughout the therapeutic process. As our work evolves, so too can our approach, adapting to meet your changing needs.
Online Therapy & Intense Needs
Working online offers convenience and flexibility, but it also comes with its own set of considerations. Building a deep connection in a virtual space requires intentionality, and if you’re dealing with very intense issues or need specialized support, in-person therapy or additional services may be more suitable.
Let’s Connect
If you value a creative, reflective space where the therapeutic relationship is a true co-creation, and you’re open to a process-led approach that evolves over time, I’d love to connect. Your journey is unique, and together we can explore the best path forward for your healing and growth.
Looking forward to embarking on this transformative journey with you.
