About Krassimir
Krassimir Kirtchev is an NCPS counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, panic-related worries, low self-esteem and depression. He works with adults who are struggling with relationship tensions, anger and life transitions. Sessions aim to make feelings easier to name and manage, and to reduce the grip of overwhelming thoughts and reactions.
He trained in counselling and psychotherapy at Chrysalis in the UK and holds a diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy. He also completed a diploma in CBT/REBT at The College of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies and is accredited by NCPS. These backgrounds shape his way of working rather than defining a single method.
Krassimir uses a blend of client-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioural ideas. He talks through problems with people, helps them spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and works on practical steps to change how they respond. He aims to make each session straightforward and focused on what the person needs right now.
Alongside counselling, he practises Shiatsu and remedial massage and has training as a back pain specialist. He sometimes supports people whose emotional distress shows up as physical pain, or where physical issues contribute to anxiety and low mood.
Before counselling he served 14 years in the military in Bulgaria and has a background in engineering and safety-critical work. That experience informs a calm, practical approach and an emphasis on problem-solving and clear communication.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Krassimir blends cognitive-behavioural ideas with client-centred and psychodynamic perspectives. Cognitive-behavioural methods focus on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with panic attacks, anxiety and low mood. Client-centred work emphasises listening, empathy and creating space for a person to make sense of their feelings. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that repeat in relationships or responses, helping people see where past experiences shape present reactions.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. He will work collaboratively to test what helps most, tailoring methods to your goals and preferences rather than applying a single technique. This helps keep sessions relevant and practical as needs change.
The profile does not specify exact online session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring responsibilities or travel, and can reduce time spent on commuting. It also allows shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day, and offers flexibility for international clients. Ask about specific session types when you arrange a first meeting so the format matches your day-to-day needs.
