My name is Radina Petrova and I am a clinical psychologist and hypnotherapist with 15 years of experience, with a strong professional focus and training in psychiatry, Cognitive-Behavioral Psychotherapy and Psychodrama. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, intrusive thoughts and compulsions, panic attacks, depressive states, eating-related difficulties, and challenges in emotional regulation. I believe in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship as a space where a person can feel seen, heard and accepted with understanding. My approach is warm and empathic, and I carefully monitor therapeutic progress, offering support between sessions when needed.

I integrate Cognitive-Behavioral Psychotherapy with psychodramatic techniques, allowing clients not only to understand what is happening to them, but also to experience change in a new and more liberating way. The therapeutic process follows a structured plan with clear goals, while respecting the pace and uniqueness of each person. I am particularly attuned to experiences related to anxiety and control, as well as themes such as isolation, self-criticism and shame — informed both by my professional background and by my own personal journey toward greater freedom and self-acceptance.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski.” I have completed postgraduate training in Psychiatry for Psychologists at the Medical University of Plovdiv, as well as numerous additional trainings in clinical psychodiagnostics, clinical trials, Cognitive-Behavioral Psychotherapy, Psychodrama, hypnosis and hypnotherapy. My professional experience includes work in medical centers, social rehabilitation services, residential care facilities for older adults and private therapeutic practice.

For me, psychotherapy is a process that restores a person’s access to inner strength, choice and dignity, and my mission is to be a safe and steady companion along that path.
