Tsveta Encheva, BACP

Tsveta Encheva is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience. She supports people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, parenting problems and anger. She works in English and Bulgarian and practises approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy and CBT.

She draws on person-centred listening alongside more structured techniques from cognitive behavioural work. That means conversations often start with understanding what matters to the person, then move to clearer ways of thinking and behaving that reduce unhelpful reactions. Sessions are presented in straightforward language and focus on practical steps as well as why feelings are happening.

Her background includes counselling work with young adults at college and university, and supporting people adjusting to chronic health diagnoses. Those roles shaped how she helps people manage life changes, caregiver stress and issues around identity and intimacy. She is comfortable discussing anger that shows up at home, at work, or in relationships and helps people notice patterns that feed it.

Tsveta uses a mix of short-term, goal-focused techniques and longer conversational work. Mindfulness and somatic ideas may be introduced to help with bodily tension and grounding during strong emotions. Solution-focused methods can be used to set small, practical aims and track progress between sessions.

She invites people to talk about guilt, shame, grief and forgiveness as part of changing how they respond to frustration and resentment. The overall approach is collaborative - the person’s priorities shape each session and practical tools are offered to manage difficult moments.
