Bilyana's Story
Bilyana is Bulgaria born, raised during the best years of the Communist Era only to witness and live through the destruction of the system, the economics, and state organisation.
She graduated from her Alma Mater, the University St Climent Ohridski of Sofia in the turbulent 1993 with a Master’s Degree in Primary School Pedagogics and Specialisation in Music.
The following eight years took her away from the country, following the path of a professional musician, traveling the world, and experiencing different cultures and customs. This path eventually led her to settling in the UK after meeting her husband and starting a family.
Understanding human nature and relationships has been a life-long fascination. During her travels, the realisation that a good conversation can change the person’s perception, can be cathartic, healing and transformative reignited her interest in psychology and psychotherapy.
Bilyana is a registered hypnotherapist and psychotherapist working with clients that have experienced childhood adversities, abuse, trauma, and
relational issues. She can help you navigate, manage, and resolve anxiety, stress and depression related disorders, past childhood trauma, C-PTSD, and developmental trauma disorder. She works with relationship issues and the people that have experienced relational trauma.
Bilyana works in English and Bulgarian language and the sessions are held in person or online via Zoom.
