Krassimir Kirtchev, NCPS

Counsellor Krassimir Kirtchev is NCPS accredited and has 12 years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and depression. He offers work in English and Bulgarian and practices in the United Kingdom. Krassimir describes his main focus as helping adults who bring high levels of distress and problems that affect family, work or close relationships.

He trained in counselling and psychotherapy at Chrysalis in the UK and later completed a diploma in CBT/REBT at The College of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies. Krassimir blends client-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive approaches to understand what is happening for each person and to plan practical steps forward.

Alongside talking therapies he holds diplomas in hypnotherapy, shiatsu and remedial massage, and he works with people who have psychosomatic or somatopsychic problems. This means he may consider both emotional and physical aspects when pain or illness and mood are connected.

His background includes work in engineering, maintenance and safety-critical roles, plus 14 years of military service in Bulgaria. He says these varied roles have given him practical experience of different kinds of people and pressures.

Sessions aim to identify the patterns that keep problems going and to try straightforward ways to change them. Krassimir prefers clear, practical conversation and matching techniques to the issue presented. He welcomes people who want to talk through specific problems or understand longer standing patterns of thought and feeling.
