Raya Chausheva

A qualified international psychologist and linguist, a published author and corporate trainer in business psychology. I gained experience abroad (UK, Norway and the Czech Republic), but decided to return to Bulgaria to continue helping my compatriots with the valuable knowledge and skills I have gathered. I conduct consultations with individual clients, couples and families, in my office in Plovdiv and online. I also continue to work with international and Bulgarian business teams to improve collective relations and increase work efficiency.

Book consultation

International experience with an understanding of the Bulgarian context

As someone who has developed in art, science and corporate environments, I aim to help my clients holistically. It is important to me that you feel understood and supported from all angles, in all areas of life. I have the experience to assist you with consultations that meet international standards. I have gone through training and practices that are rare or non-existent in Bulgaria, but are needed due to typical problems in us, Bulgarians.

A safe place to discover your true self

My empathetic nature, understanding soul and curious mind will encourage you to express yourself so that together we can chart the best future for you. It is important to me that you are more authentic, wiser, more balanced and braver after each of our consultations; step by step. With me you will find a safe haven to reveal your true emotions and problems and see them from a new perspective. I will help you calm your soul and find the hidden meaning behind everything that bothers you. If you wish, we can work on a very deep level for the purpose of holistic healing. Contact me!
