About Krassimir
Krassimir Kirtchev helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, relationship strain and depression. He introduces a calm, straightforward approach so clients can talk about what matters most. Krassimir speaks English and Bulgarian and practices in the United Kingdom.
He trained in counselling and psychotherapy at Chrysalis UK and holds a Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy. He also holds a Diploma in CBT/REBT - cognitive behavioural and rational emotive behaviour therapy - and a Diploma in Hypnotherapy.
Background and approach
The first part of a session is often about listening closely to what is causing distress and what changes the person wants to make. Krassimir combines person-centred listening with psychodynamic thinking and CBT/REBT-style techniques. That means he helps people understand patterns from the past and then works on practical steps to shift thoughts and behaviours now.
He draws on his experience with mind-body issues when physical pain and emotional stress affect each other. Alongside counselling he is a qualified Shiatsu practitioner and remedial massage therapist, and he has a background as a back pain specialist. He uses this wider experience when people describe psychosomatic or somatopsychic symptoms where body and mind are linked.
His professional path includes a long career in his country of origin, Bulgaria, in military service and engineering roles. Those experiences inform his practical, down-to-earth style and his preference for clear, workable steps in therapy.

How Krassimir works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Krassimir will talk with the person about goals and preferences and then try methods that suit those aims. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses so approaches match what is most helpful.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep appointments around work or family commitments and it can help people maintain continuity when they move location. The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm available formats before booking to know what to expect and how sessions will fit into everyday life.
