About me you can read here.
My name is Nikolina Zhekova – Nina. I hold Master’s degrees in Psychoanalysis and Intercultural Mediation from Paris, and in Philosophy from Sofia University. I have completed extensive training in Psychodrama Group Therapy and Family Therapy. I am a member of the Bulgarian Association for Family Therapy (BAFT) — https://www.baft.bg/.
I work in Bulgarian, English, and French, which allows me to connect with diverse cultures and perspectives. I effectively address issues such as panic attacks, anxiety and depressive disorders, family conflicts, identity crises, and existential challenges.
Psychotherapy is a process of awareness and personal transformation. I have deep respect for those who begin the courageous journey inward and I feel profound contentment when I facilitate personal grouth and positive change—something that we always achieve together with my patients through every sustained and completed therapy process.

Many people postpone seeing a psychotherapist with arguments like, “I know everything about myself,” “My friends completely understand me,” or “I just need to think positively and exercise more,” “I don’t have time, I don’t have money”...
The truth is that therapy is not just an ordinary conversation, but a professional process that leads to deep understanding, awareness, meaningful change, and new solutions to old problems.
The contemporary new age philosophy spreads countless ideas about love, personal happiness, freedom and independence that are inspiring but often unattainable.
Myths about unconditional love, positive thinking, the power of will, and eternal youth create unrealistic expectations and result in disappointment. It’s important to separate inspiring ideals from impossible illusions.
"In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer."
"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."
Therapy is not a radio. We don't have to keep the air filled with sound. Surprising things happen sometimes when it is quiet.
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."
"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves."
