About Kirsty

She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem and life changes, among other concerns. She also focuses on attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, domestic violence, self-harm and related areas.
Kirsty uses straightforward talking therapy approaches. She listens to what matters most and helps people notice patterns in how they think and behave. She draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to work on difficult thoughts and practical coping skills.
Sessions aim to be practical and conversational. Kirsty will help set small, achievable steps where useful. She also uses ideas from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance when those are needed.
People come for help with relationships, career stress, bereavement and low mood. She also supports women and young adults facing sexual assault, shame, guilt and recovery from domestic violence. Autism and attachment concerns are included in her focus areas.
Kirsty welcomes people who want a clear plan alongside talking. She works with clients to agree goals and review progress. For anyone in the United Kingdom or beyond who prefers to meet remotely, confirm current session options before booking.
Sessions are offered in English. To start, follow the directory steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Kirsty uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in clear, practical ways. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try new ways of responding to difficult situations. ACT focuses on values and small steps, helping people accept difficult feelings while moving towards what matters to them.She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to understand patterns that come from early relationships. This can help when people are trying to change how they connect with others or manage strong emotions. The choice of approaches is practical and based on what the person wants to work on.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kirsty will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will suggest methods to try. Decisions are made together and reviewed as progress is checked.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the options before booking. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit into a working day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people continue work from a distance; discuss format and timing when you book to find what will fit your routine.
