About Kirsten

Kirsten Lawrence offers a calm, steady presence for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She uses clear, plain language so parents and busy adults can quickly see if her style fits their needs. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and finding practical ways to cope.

Kirsten draws on eight years' experience as a counsellor and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

She uses approaches that centre the person and teach mindful ways to manage strong feelings. This helps with panic, mood disturbances, and the fallout from difficult experiences. In sessions she works collaboratively, listening first to what feels most urgent.

Then she offers tools and gentle challenges that help people discover new choices. Work can include talking things through, building emotional awareness, and practising simple mindfulness exercises. Kirsten helps with common relationship and family issues such as communication problems, separation, parenting strain and caregiver stress.

She also supports people dealing with identity questions, LGBT concerns, and career or financial worries. People bring a wide range of difficulties such as trauma, low self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, compassion fatigue and feelings of emptiness. Kirsten adapts her approach to the person rather than applying a fixed method.

This means sessions change if priorities shift or new issues arise.

Person-centred and mindfulness approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person is heard and valued; it helps people gain clarity about their choices and rebuild confidence. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical attention and breathing skills to reduce overwhelm, manage panic and lower daily anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what helps most and adapt methods as needs and goals become clearer. This is a collaborative process where the person and therapist try different ways of working until a good fit is found.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video helps maintain face-to-face contact, phone calls work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, making consistent support easier to sustain.
