Empowering Minds, Nurturing Souls
Hi, I’m Ivelina, a trilingual psychologist in Valencia, specialising in supporting expats, international students, creatives, and sensitive souls.
Is this you?
Do you sometimes feel lost, as if you don’t quite know where your life is going?
Are you struggling with loneliness while living abroad?
Do you miss the familiarity of your culture, language, or support system back home?
Are you going through a big life change, like a breakup, career shift, or move abroad, and finding it hard to cope?
Are you a highly sensitive or creative person who feels things deeply and sometimes too intensely?
Do you wish you could talk to a therapist who truly understands you in a language you feel comfortable with?
Are you looking for a safe, non-judgmental space where you can finally be heard?
What I can help you with
Psychological support for expats, creatives & sensitive souls.
In-Person Therapy and Counseling
I offer in-person therapy for those who value the presence of a safe, welcoming space to explore their thoughts and emotions. Sessions are available in English, Spanish, and Bulgarian, and are tailored to your unique cultural and emotional context.
Whether you’re an expat seeking connection, a sensitive or creative person navigating life changes, or someone looking for personal growth, in-person therapy allows us to build trust and work deeply together in a supportive environment.
In-person therapy is ideal if you:
Prefer face-to-face interaction and the energy of a dedicated therapy space
Want to fully immerse yourself in your therapeutic process without distractions
Appreciate having a physical, safe environment you can leave behind after each session, creating a clear boundary between therapy and daily life
Enjoy the structured environment of traveling to a therapy office as part of your commitment to self-care
Online Therapy and Counseling
I offer online therapy for people living abroad, navigating transitions, or simply looking for a safe space to process emotions from the comfort of home. Sessions are available in English, Spanish, and Bulgarian, and are tailored to your unique cultural and emotional context.
Whether you're an expat feeling in-between worlds, a highly sensitive person seeking emotional regulation, or a creative soul struggling with blocks, online therapy allows us to connect deeply — no matter where you are.
Online therapy is ideal if you:
Travel often or live abroad
Prefer the comfort and privacy of your own space
Need scheduling flexibility
Want to work with a therapist who understands multilingual and multicultural experiences
Are ready to explore yourself in a safe, warm, and non-judgmental environment
Psychology Workshops
I design and facilitate interactive workshops and psychoeducational trainings focused on emotional regulation, mindfulness, identity, and self-awareness. These are available for individuals, organizations, and community groups — online or in person.
Workshops can be tailored for:
Expats and intercultural groups
Creative professionals
Educational or wellness settings
Anyone curious about inner work in a collective space
Yoga & Mindfulness Workshops
As a certified yoga teacher, I offer yoga and mindfulness workshops that complement mental and emotional well-being. These sessions focus on breath awareness, gentle movement, and meditation to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance focus.
Step 1
Send me a short email introducing yourself and sharing what brings you to therapy. You don’t need to go into detail — just enough so I can understand your needs.
Step 2
We’ll schedule a short 15-minute free call to get to know each other. It’s a chance to ask questions, feel the vibe, and see if we’re a good fit — no pressure.
Step 3
If it feels right for both of us, we’ll set a date for your first full session. From there, we’ll begin your therapeutic journey — with presence, care, and attention.
How do I know if now is the right time to start therapy?
If you’re here, reading these words and searching for answers, it means a part of you already knows the truth: you’re ready for support. There’s never a perfect time to begin—life will always be busy, messy, and full of reasons to wait.
But you don’t need to be drowning to reach for a lifeboat. Therapy isn’t only for crisis moments; it’s also for building clarity, balance, and resilience before things feel overwhelming.
Starting now means giving yourself permission to take care of your mind and heart today—not someday.
My Approach
I offer a holistic, compassionate, and personalized approach to therapy and personal growth. I combine psychology, mindfulness, yoga, and mind-body practices to help you reconnect with yourself, heal emotional wounds, and build a life aligned with your values.
Every session is a safe, warm, and judgment-free space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges at your own pace. I work with individuals navigating life transitions, struggling with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, or seeking clarity and purpose.
As a multilingual therapist (English, Spanish, Bulgarian), I provide support that respects your language, culture, and unique journey. My goal is to empower you to regain confidence, deepen self-understanding, improve relationships, and cultivate lasting inner peace.
Whether you are a creative, sensitive, or reflective soul, my approach integrates science and spirituality to guide you toward authentic growth and a stronger connection with yourself and your life.

Each therapeutic process is unique and valuable. Here you will find the experiences of people who decided to take the step toward their emotional well-being and trusted me to accompany them on their journey.
Carlos, 39, Valencia
Pensaba que nadie podría ayudarme. Pero conocer a Ivelina cambió todo. Con su calidez y su capacidad para entenderme, me dio la fuerza que necesitaba para salir del momento más oscuro de mi vida. Gracias a su guía, volví a sentir esperanza. Hoy, soy una versión de mí mismo que nunca imaginé. Ivelina no solo me ayudó, sino que me devolvió las ganas de vivir. Eternamente agradecido. Si estás buscando una psicóloga que realmente te escuche y te haga sentir acompañado, de verdad te recomiendo a Ivelina.
Ivana, 25, Bulgarian expat
Ivelina is an exceptional professional who has helped me go through very difficult situations in my life. She has a warm approach and incredible ability to listen, understand and provide insightful guidance. Her skills and dedication truly stand out, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.
Maria, 36, Colombian expat
When I came to Ivelina, I was going through a very difficult time, one of those times when you have so many ideas but don't know where to start or how to move forward. Her love, her light, her patience, and her tools were key, not only in helping me move forward, but also in helping me find my inner peace and balance again. I recommend her 100%.
Emma, 29, UK expat
When I first moved to Valencia, I felt completely lost—new city, new culture, and no idea how to feel at home. Working with Ivelina helped me realize that what makes me me—my curiosity, empathy, and creativity—are exactly the qualities that allow me to connect with others, be myself, and find purpose wherever I am. Thanks to her guidance, I don’t just feel more at home here—I feel more at home in myself.
David, 31, US expat
I came to Ivelina during a time when my career felt uncertain and my confidence was at its lowest. I kept comparing myself to others and felt stuck, unable to move forward. With her patience and insight, she helped me untangle my thoughts and see my strengths more clearly. She gave me tools to manage my anxiety and reminded me that my worth isn’t defined by constant achievement. Now I feel stronger, calmer, and more capable of making choices that truly fit me.
Ivan, 23, Bulgarian expat
Когато се преместих във Валенсия, културният шок и езиковата бариера ме накараха да се чувствам изолиран и неразбран. Въпреки че имах желание да се адаптирам, постоянно усещах, че не принадлежа никъде. Работата с Ивелина ми помогна да приема тези чувства и да открия начини да изграждам връзки и да намеря общност около себе си. Тя ми показа, че дори в чужда среда мога да бъда себе си и да създавам дом там, където съм.
About me
Hi, I’m Ivelina — a trilingual psychologist in Valencia, offering therapy and counseling for expats, international students, creatives, and sensitive souls.
I help people who live between cultures, languages, and identities find emotional grounding and inner space. As an English-speaking therapist, I work with many expats and international students who prefer therapy in English. I also provide counseling in Bulgarian (my native language) and Spanish. I work with clients in the language that feels most natural to them.
My approach combines evidence-based therapy (such as CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed techniques) with mindfulness, body awareness, and integrative tools — always offered with warmth, creativity, and non-judgment.
Originally from Bulgaria and trained in Spain, I understand the challenges of adapting to a new culture, navigating language barriers, and finding a sense of belonging abroad. Having rebuilt myself across countries and roles, I bring that lived experience into every session.
Whether you’re an expat in Valencia facing cultural shock, a sensitive person struggling with anxiety, or a creative soul looking for balance, I offer a safe, supportive space to slow down, process what feels heavy, and reconnect with your own rhythm.
