About Krassimir
Krassimir Kirtchev helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, relationship problems and depression. He speaks English and Bulgarian and works with adults who bring a wide range of life concerns.

He trained in counselling and psychotherapy in the UK and holds a Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy and a Diploma in CBT/REBT.
How Krassimir works
Krassimir blends client-centred listening with psychodynamic ideas and cognitive techniques to make sense of patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions focus on small, doable steps as well as understanding long-standing habits. Alongside talking therapy, he offers complementary hands-on skills from shiatsu and remedial massage training to address psychosomatic and musculoskeletal problems.
This can help when physical symptoms and emotional distress are linked and both need attention. Krassimir’s prior career included service and engineering roles, experience he says has given him practical wisdom for working with people under pressure. He brings a calm, down-to-earth manner to sessions and aims to make therapy feel useful and relevant to daily life.
Clients can expect clear explanations of options and a collaborative plan. He accepts international clients and runs sessions remotely by video, phone or text-based methods, adapting the format to each person’s needs.

How his approaches work online
Krassimir uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to change unhelpful thinking and long-standing patterns. Cognitive approaches focus on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and help people test and change beliefs that increase anxiety or low mood. These methods suit worries, low mood and problems where thinking patterns keep causing distress.He also draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to understand personal history and emotional patterns. Client-centred work offers a listening space where people can explore feelings at their own pace, while psychodynamic ideas look at recurring relationship patterns and their origins. Together these approaches help when problems are rooted in past experiences or repeated interactions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Krassimir will listen to a person’s goals and preferences, explain suitable options, and agree on a plan together. If an approach needs adjusting, he will review progress and try different techniques to find what fits best.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions can be shorter or easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping a consistent, ongoing process with a registered or accredited professional.
