Deya Shopova

Deya Shopova is a 28-year-old clinical psychologist and sexologist fascinated by how language, technology, and care shape mental health. She has worked across clinical, hospital, and private settings, helping individuals and families navigate anxiety, relationships, intimacy, and identity.

With a Master’s in Clinical Psychology and postgrad specializations in sexology, she bridges clinical practice and healthcare innovation. She was the first professional to introduce virtual reality into psychological care in Bulgaria, using immersive tools to deepen therapeutic connection; not replace it.

Deya believes psychotherapy should be accessible, stigma-free, and practical. Her work translates complex ideas into everyday skills that help people choose differently, relate more fully, and live with more ease.

Outside work she recharges through sport, volunteering with animal causes, as well as music, travel, and good conversation over a glass of wine.
