Krassimir Kirtchev

Krassimir Kirtchev is a counsellor with NCPS credential who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, depression and relationship difficulties. He sees adults who come with strong worries and high levels of distress. He writes and talks plainly to make things easier to follow for a worried reader.

Krassimir uses an integrative style that brings together client-centred listening, psychodynamic ideas and cognitive approaches. This mix aims to make sense of feelings and behaviours, and then to try practical ways of changing thought patterns and reactions. He also applies approaches that focus on how the body and mind interact when physical symptoms and emotional strain are linked.

Alongside counselling, he is trained in hypnotherapy, CBT/REBT - which stands for rational emotive behaviour therapy - and has diplomas in remedial massage and Shiatsu. Those complementary skills inform his understanding of psychosomatic pain and long-term musculoskeletal complaints. He describes his work as practical and grounded in life experience.

Krassimir has worked in private practice for more than a decade and brings varied prior experience from engineering and military service in Bulgaria. He says this background helped him develop practical judgement and a straightforward approach when supporting people through difficult decisions or life changes.

People most often come to him for anxiety, depression, relationship problems, family strains, fertility or fatherhood concerns, and coping after traumatic events such as natural or human-caused disaster. He encourages a collaborative way of working and tailors sessions to each person's needs.
