Krassimir Kirtchev helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger and relationship problems. He writes plainly and meets people where they are. Sessions are aimed at reducing distress and making everyday life feel more manageable.

He draws on more than a decade of hands-on experience in counselling and psychotherapy. Krassimir holds a Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy and a Diploma in CBT/REBT, and he is accredited with NCPS.

Background and approach

He also trained in hypnotherapy and bodywork approaches, which he uses when physical symptoms and emotions interact. In sessions he combines client-centred listening with psychodynamic reflection and practical CBT/REBT techniques. That means he listens for patterns from your past, helps you name unhelpful thinking, and works with you on straightforward steps to change how you feel and behave.

Conversations are plain and practical rather than full of jargon. He has worked in independent practice and brings a varied life background that includes engineering and team leadership. Those experiences shape a pragmatic style that values clear goals and small, manageable changes.

Krassimir is based in the United Kingdom and works with people in English and Bulgarian. Alongside talking therapy, he offers complementary approaches for people whose emotional distress shows up in the body. He supports those with chronic pain, illness or psychosomatic symptoms by addressing both physical and emotional contributors.

For starting, he guides people through simple steps to make therapy fit into day-to-day life.

Approaches that address thoughts, feelings and the body

Krassimir uses a blend of methods to meet different needs. CBT/REBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with simple behavioural experiments; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and patterns that keep problems going. Client-centred work means the counsellor listens deeply and follows the pace that the person needs, creating space to make sense of things rather than rushing to solutions. He also draws on body-based techniques for people whose emotional pain shows up physically, helping link physical symptoms and emotional patterns so both can be addressed.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences with each person, then tries practical steps to see what helps. If something doesn’t fit, adjustments are made together so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people write when that is easier or fit therapy into a busy day. These options help therapy fit around work, family and travel while keeping focus on practical progress.
