About Slavena
BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. Slavena Nikodimova helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression and addictions. She also supports people facing grief, intimacy issues, eating and body image concerns, parenting strains, anger, self-esteem problems, career questions and life transitions.
Slavena works in a client-centred way that focuses on the person rather than labels. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships influence current difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) features in her practice when the work requires attention to feelings and patterns between people. Sessions are conversational and aim to identify what keeps a problem going and what might shift it.
In sessions she invites people to talk about their thoughts and emotions without judgement. She helps clients name the causes of distress and tries out different ways to respond. The pace is set together, and shorter 30-minute or 45-minute meetings can be discussed if needed.
Slavena has worked across a range of presenting issues for fifteen years. Her experience includes additional focus areas such as abandonment and attachment issues, blended family concerns, codependency, communication and control problems, and separation and infidelity. She also supports people dealing with gender dysphoria and LGBT-related concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, people are asked to use the site pathway to match with her and book a first session after completing a short questionnaire.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current trust and closeness. Online sessions using this lens focus on patterns in how people relate and respond emotionally to others. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and reflection. In remote sessions this means the counsellor gives space for people to talk and helps them find their own understanding of what matters. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and processing core emotions that drive relationship patterns and personal distress.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with the client and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative process allows flexibility as issues change or new priorities emerge.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which formats are provided. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when helpful, and making it simpler to schedule sessions across different time zones. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who practise these approaches, often find remote work effective for discussing relationships, grief, anxiety and practical life changes.
