Krassimir Kirtchev

Krassimir Kirtchev is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. He works with adults who are struggling with relationship problems, family conflict, or the emotional fallout of illness and life change. Krassimir uses straightforward language and a practical approach in sessions.

He trained in counselling and psychotherapy at Chrysalis in the UK and holds a Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy. He also has a Diploma in CBT/REBT, which is a form of cognitive behavioural work, and additional diplomas in hypnotherapy and bodywork. The biography records NCPS as his credential.

Krassimir blends different methods to match what a person needs. He draws on client-centred listening, psychodynamic ideas about patterns from the past, and CBT/REBT techniques that focus on thoughts and behaviour. He aims to make sessions useful and easy to follow, with practical steps and clear explanations.

Alongside talking therapy, he offers remedial massage and Shiatsu for people whose emotional distress shows up as physical pain. He also has training in back pain treatment and often supports clients with psychosomatic or somatopsychic difficulties. These combined skills are used to understand both mind and body in a person’s recovery.

Before counselling he worked in engineering and spent many years in military service, experiences he says have shaped his practical style. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic methods and how online work can fit

Krassimir uses a mix of approaches that focus on thoughts, feelings and relational patterns. Cognitive behavioural work, including REBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviour and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and reactions. That approach can help with anger, anxiety and low mood by teaching alternative responses.

He also draws on client-centred work, which gives people space to be heard and understood, and psychodynamic ideas that look at recurring patterns and past experiences shaping current reactions. These approaches help when someone wants to understand why they respond in certain ways and to try new patterns over time.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with a person about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical arrangements and timing with the therapist when arranging the first appointment.
