VIOLINA AITA

I have always wished to care for life. Beginning with biotechnology, my path naturally led to psychotherapy and psychology in 1997. I believe that caring for ourselves, others, and our emotions through body connection, movement of blocked muscular energy, and mindful breathing helps us grow. Conscious breathing and competent, meaningful touch—such as therapeutic massage—have remarkable healing power for clients across all age groups facing anxiety or depression.

I am a member of the BNPB, BAP, and the ethics committee, as well as a founding board member of InACoRP in Rome.

    My name is Irina Mindova-Vasileva—psychotherapist, psychologist, mediator, and adventurer. In psychotherapy, I view our meetings simply as human-to-human connections.

    Through my own journey, I learned a simple truth: the body remembers, patterns repeat, and therapy empowers us to choose differently. It is a space to pause, observe ourselves with curiosity rather than judgment, and understand our patterns.

    I specialize in anxiety, burnout, trauma, relationship dynamics, and neurodivergent minds (ADHD), using a holistic, neurobiology-informed approach.

    I offer in-person sessions in Sofia and online consultations in Bulgarian, English, Spanish, and body language.
