Bogdan Valkov is a clinical psychologist with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, both obtained from Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski.” During his academic training, he developed a strong interest in depth psychology and the philosophy of mental life. As a practitioner with a creative approach, he prefers interpreting psychological experiences individually, rather than applying categorical labels such as “bipolar,” “depressive,” or “schizophrenic.” He believes that mental states carry an inherent logic and meaning, shaped by both internal predispositions and the unique life path of each person. In his work, he places emphasis not on assigning a diagnosis, but on understanding the essence and root of the problem, and identifying an individual path toward resolution. His approach is characterized by a balance of empathy, philosophical freedom, and scientific rigor.

He has acquired practical experience through work in various mental health settings. These roles have allowed him to engage in psychological assessments, provide individual and group counseling, and collaborate within multidisciplinary teams.

He is fluent in English, Russian, French, and German, which enables him to work with a diverse clientele in intercultural contexts. He continues to expand his professional expertise through participation in specialized trainings, seminars, and clinical supervision in the fields of clinical and counseling psychology.
