About Krassimir
Krassimir Kirtchev is an NCPS counsellor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, anger and low self-esteem. He also supports those facing relationship strains that affect daily life. Krassimir approaches problems in a practical, down-to-earth way and speaks English and Bulgarian.
He trained in counselling and psychotherapy at Chrysalis UK and later completed a diploma in CBT/REBT at The College of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies. Krassimir brings 12 years of professional experience in private practice and describes his work as integrative. He blends client-centred, psychodynamic and CBT/REBT ideas to meet each person where they are.
Alongside talking therapy, he is a qualified shiatsu practitioner and remedial massage therapist and holds diplomas in hypnotherapy and back pain specialism. He uses this mix to address psychosomatic and somatopsychic issues when physical pain and emotional distress interact. Practical body-focused work is offered as a complement to counselling when appropriate.
Krassimir’s background includes mechanical and maintenance engineering and 14 years of military service in Bulgaria, experience he says has shaped his practical approach. He aims to use practical wisdom to help people navigate difficult feelings and everyday problems.
People come to him with high distress, worries that affect work or home life, and problems linked to family or fatherhood roles. He encourages straightforward conversation, practical strategies and collaborative planning to make manageable changes over time.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Krassimir draws on several practical, evidence-based techniques to support people. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (CBT/REBT) help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop clearer, more helpful responses to stress and anxiety. These methods focus on simple skills and short exercises that can be practised between sessions.He also uses client-centred listening and psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns that repeat in relationships and self-esteem. That work involves reflective conversation, noticing recurring themes, and connecting present difficulties to past experiences where helpful.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Krassimir will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and then try methods that suit them. Plans are adjusted over time based on what the client finds most useful.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. It can also let people use exercises and worksheets between sessions to reinforce progress.
