Iva Galova. Psychotherapeutin. Jungianerin.

 

I was born in Sofia, Bulgaria, in 1987. In 2005, I moved to Vienna. I studied journalism, searched for my true calling, and had the opportunity to work as an artist for several years. Afterward, I found a job in the social field, and my desire to become a psychotherapist  awakened. Since childhood, I have been fascinated by fairy tales and myths, without at the time understanding their profound impact on our psyche. This, along with my desire to explore symbols and their effects, led me to begin my psychotherapy training at the Jung Institute in Vienna.

I have been working in the field of addiction for over ten years, supporting people towards a more self-reliant life.

In 2022 I started my family and became a mother.

At the beginning of 2025, a dream came true – I began my work as a psychotherapist in specialist training under supervision. I offer psychotherapy in three languages – German, Bulgarian, and English .
