About Katrin Papazyan

I’m Katrin Papazyan, founder of Bliss Coaching and an executive and team coach based in Sofia, Bulgaria. I work with leaders, founders and leadership teams in Bulgaria and internationally.

Before creating Bliss Coaching, I spent more than 20 years in senior leadership—qualifying as an ACCA, serving in CFO and CEO roles, and most recently leading a health and wellness organization as Country Manager.

What drives Katrin

I believe every person and every team is capable of more — because growth is not a destination but it is the path we go on. And what “more” means keeps changing as we do.

I love watching people and teams become a better version of themselves — and inspiring that growth in them. To me, this is what fulfillment is made of: being a little greater than we were yesterday, and contributing something meaningful to the world along the way.

I believe business can be a force for good — a natural result of people leading with awareness. When a leader shifts, it moves through the team, the organization, and everyone those people touch.

How Katrin works

I trust that the wisdom of a leader or a team is already there. My role is to hold the space where it can surface, where psychological safety can flourish and difficult conversations can be held. The way I coach leaves people and teams capable of continuing the work even when I am no longer there.

My approach is reflective, systemic and tailored to the client’s context: I create the structure and psychological safety in which leaders and teams can see their patterns, hold meaningful conversations and find their own way forward.

I’m based in Bulgaria, and I travel where the work calls me.

"She treated the team and clients with equal respect, honesty, and attention. She made decisions objectively and never compromised your principles. To me, she is an example of integrity and professionalism."

"She's calm and grounded — it creates a sense of security, while still encouraging real experimentation. Mistakes become valuable attempts, not failures."
