About Krassimir
Krassimir Kirtchev is a counsellor with NCPS credentials who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger and depression. He also supports people dealing with relationship strain and common life transitions. He communicates in English and Bulgarian and works from the United Kingdom.
Krassimir combines several approaches in his work. He trained in counselling and psychotherapy at Chrysalis UK and later completed a diploma in CBT/REBT at The College of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies. He describes an integrative way of working that draws on client-centred listening, psychodynamic reflection and cognitive methods to help unpack thoughts, feelings and habits.
Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and clearer understanding. He uses conversation to identify unhelpful thinking and patterns, then works with clients to try new ways of responding. Where physical symptoms link to emotions, he can discuss how psychosomatic and somatopsychic connections affect mood and behaviour.
Outside counselling, Krassimir has complementary qualifications in hypnotherapy, shiatsu, remedial massage and back pain care. He has broad life and work experience, including a long period of military service in Bulgaria and later roles in engineering and maintenance in the UK. This background informs a pragmatic, down-to-earth style.
He has over a decade of professional practice and aims to offer straightforward support for people facing ongoing distress or problems that affect family, work or daily life. If unsure about session arrangements, readers should confirm current options before booking.
Approaches that guide online conversations
Krassimir draws on cognitive approaches such as CBT/REBT to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of thinking. These methods usually focus on thought patterns, practical exercises and step-by-step changes that can reduce anxiety and low mood.He also uses client-centred listening to create space for someone to tell their story and be heard without judgement. Psychodynamic reflection is included too, which looks at recurring patterns in relationships and how earlier experiences shape current feelings.
Finding the right blend of these approaches is part of the work. Krassimir will discuss goals and preferences with each person and agree on techniques that fit their needs. That means the plan can change as the therapeutic relationship develops and as different issues emerge.
For practicalities, confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, avoid travel time and join from different locations. Phone check-ins can be shorter and require less bandwidth, while video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when that helps progress.
