About Kirsty
Counsellor Kirsty Lee is a BACP member with five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She supports people with stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, and also works with depression, grief and self-esteem issues.
Kirsty uses practical talking therapy methods in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness to help people notice patterns of feeling and thinking. She also works from a client-centred stance, focusing on what matters to each person in the room.
Sessions typically look at daily stresses and how they affect mood and behaviour. Kirsty helps people learn simple coping skills and new ways of responding to old problems. She explains techniques clearly and keeps language straightforward.
She also has experience with trauma and abuse, including sexual assault and related issues. Other areas she has supported include postpartum mood changes, self-harm, abandonment and attachment concerns, blended family difficulties, fatherhood issues and social anxiety.
Kirsty accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. She asks new people to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session. Payment is via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to change those patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness, which can help with rumination and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kirsty will discuss different methods with the client and decide together what to try first. She treats this as a collaborative process and adapts techniques based on the person's goals and what they find helpful.
If you prefer remote sessions, check the available session options before booking since they are not listed here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow short check-ins when time is limited, or remove travel time. It can also let someone choose sessions that suit quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera depending on what works best for them.
