LGBTQ+ Friendly Therapy in Sofia

Hi, I’m Vessy!

I offer LGBTQ+ friendly psychotherapy for adults in Sofia, Bulgaria (previously, I did in Dublin, Ireland). My practice is a non-judgmental space for people exploring sexuality, relationships, identity, coming out, family relationships, and the particular challenges that can come with being LGBTQ+. Prior to becoming a therapist, I led LGBTQ+ inclusion and belonging audits and culture strategies for tech companies in North America, Europe and India (2018 - 2025). I have also spoken at various conferences, internal pride events for companies such as Progress Software, and community events such as Lesbians Who Tech I have also delivered workshops on allyship, various gender and sexual orientation topics and issues, created for a specific audience ranging between board of directors, C level executives, leadership teams HR teams, company wide fireside chats, and ERGs.

What LGBTQ+ friendly psychotherapy means

  • I don't regard sexual orientation itself as something that needs to be “fixed.”

  • I respect each person's identity and terminology.

  • Therapy can explore identity without assuming what the patient’s identity should be.

  • I can work with relationship, family, coming-out, anxiety, self-esteem, or other concerns that bring someone to therapy.
