Krassimir Kirtchev, NCPS

Krassimir Kirtchev is a counsellor with NCPS accreditation who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship strain. He supports those dealing with anger, communication problems and the emotional impact of chronic illness or pain. He also works with clients concerned about ageing and geriatric issues and feelings of isolation or emptiness.

Krassimir draws on a mix of client-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive approaches to make sense of what is happening for each person. He uses plain language and practical steps in sessions. He aims to create a space where clients can talk through worries and test new ways of coping.

He trained in counselling and psychotherapy in Chrysalis UK and later completed a diploma in CBT/REBT at The College of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies. He also holds diplomas in hypnotherapy and in remedial bodywork. Those additional skills inform how he understands links between body symptoms and emotional distress.

Before moving into counselling he had varied professional roles, including military service and engineering work. He says that hands-on experience with people and teams helped shape his practical approach to therapy. He brings what he calls practical wisdom to conversations about life challenges.

In practice he works with adults presenting with high distress, anxiety, depression and related difficulties that affect relationships, work and everyday functioning. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, reducing distress and building clearer ways of coping.

He conducts work in English and Bulgarian and works from the United Kingdom.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Krassimir draws on cognitive behavioural approaches and client-centred practice to help people manage thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Cognitive methods focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of responding, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Client-centred work places the person's experience at the heart of the conversation and aims to build clearer self-understanding and emotional expression.

He also integrates psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns that affect relationships and sense of self. This can help when issues repeat across different life areas or when past experiences shape current reactions. Together these approaches give practical tools and space for deeper reflection in therapy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on needs, goals and preferences. That means sessions can emphasise short-term coping skills, explore underlying patterns, or combine both, depending on what helps most.

Session format options are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time and allow check-ins that suit work or family routines. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or reduce visual demands when that is helpful.
