About Krassimir
Krassimir Kirtchev is an NCPS counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. He works with adults who bring worries about relationships, anger, or life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking to ease day-to-day strain.
He blends straightforward talking therapy with structured, evidence-based techniques. That can mean looking at unhelpful thought patterns, exploring past patterns that repeat in relationships, or practising new ways to respond under pressure.
Background and approach
He explains ideas in plain language and sets simple tasks between sessions. Before moving into counselling he gained varied life and work experience, including 14 years in the military in Bulgaria and training in engineering and maintenance roles. Those years shaped his practical, down-to-earth approach to problem solving and to working with people.
Krassimir holds a Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a Diploma in CBT/REBT - cognitive behavioural and rational emotive behaviour therapy - from the College of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies. He also has diplomas in hypnotherapy and shiat-su related bodywork, and qualifications in remedial massage and back pain care.
In his independent practice he supports people with psychosomatic and somatopsychic issues as well as typical musculoskeletal pain linked to stress. He combines client-centred and psychodynamic ideas with CBT/REBT tools to understand patterns and to help clients test new ways of thinking and behaving.

Online support
Client-centred work focuses on understanding the person in a non-judgemental way and supporting their own problem-solving. It suits people who need a calm space to talk through relationship worries, parenting pressure or feelings of emptiness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and try different methods to see what fits best. Decisions are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and a more traditional session rhythm. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins, ongoing support or people who prefer writing over speaking. These formats offer flexibility to match different schedules and practical needs.
