About Krassimir
Krassimir Kirtchev is an NCPS counsellor with 12 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports individuals facing isolation, family problems, chronic illness and a range of life transitions.
He trained in counselling and psychotherapy at Chrysalis UK and holds a diploma in CBT/REBT from the College of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies. He combines client-centred and psychodynamic ideas with cognitive approaches to understand what keeps a problem going. Sessions focus on practical ways to reduce distress and improve day to day coping.
Alongside talking therapy, he is a qualified shiatsu practitioner, remedial massage therapist and back pain specialist. These skills inform his work with people whose physical symptoms and emotions interact, such as chronic pain or stress-related aches.
Before moving into counselling he spent many years in the military and in engineering roles. That background shapes a straightforward, practical manner in sessions and an emphasis on problem solving and applied wisdom. He aims to help people notice small changes that make daily life easier.
Krassimir offers sessions in English and Bulgarian and is able to work with clients internationally. If someone wants to begin, they are asked to use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first appointment.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Krassimir commonly draws on cognitive approaches such as CBT/REBT, which look at unhelpful thinking and teach practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood. These methods use short exercises and simple experiments that can be done between sessions to test new ways of responding.He also uses client-centred elements that focus on listening and reflecting what someone is experiencing, and psychodynamic ideas to notice recurring patterns from past relationships. Together these approaches help identify what keeps problems repeating and offer concrete steps to change them. The aim is collaborative: the therapist and client decide which mix of methods suits the person’s goals and preferences.
Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around everyday life and to continue therapy when travel is difficult. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use video or phone to fit sessions into busy routines, allow shorter check-ins and reduce the time spent travelling.
