Krassimir Kirtchev , NCPS

Krassimir Kirtchev is an NCPS accredited therapist who brings an integrative blend of practical skills and therapeutic training to his work with adults. He holds diplomas in Counselling and Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy, and CBT/REBT - with CBT/REBT focusing on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - and trained in Chrysalis UK and at The College of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies. In practice he combines client-centered, psychodynamic, and CBT/REBT methods to tailor support to each person's needs.

Complementing his counselling qualifications, Krassimir is a qualified Shiatsu practitioner, remedial massage therapist, and back pain specialist, which informs his work with psychosomatic and somatopsychic presentations as well as musculoskeletal and chronic pain conditions. This combination allows him to address both emotional and physical aspects of distress when they are interconnected.

His professional background includes 14 years of military service in Bulgaria and training in mechanical engineering from a military academy, along with qualifications in electrical installations and experience in safety-critical work, team leadership, and maintenance engineering in the United Kingdom. These varied roles contribute to a practical wisdom he applies in therapy. Krassimir works with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, relationship difficulties, and related family or work challenges, offering evidence-based techniques adapted to individual circumstances. He provides therapy in English and Bulgarian and is based in the United Kingdom.

Integrative therapeutic approaches for online care

Krassimir draws on CBT/REBT, a structured approach that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood difficulties, and an integrative client-centered and psychodynamic approach that emphasizes understanding personal history, relationship patterns, and emotional experience to address deeper relational and identity concerns. Each method offers practical tools as well as opportunities for deeper reflection, making them suitable for issues such as stress, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and depressive symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Krassimir works collaboratively with clients to explore which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adapting methods over time so therapy remains focused and relevant.

Online therapy with Krassimir is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limitations, or those living outside his immediate area. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapy from different locations while working with licensed professionals experienced in adapting evidence-based methods to remote formats.
