Background and approach

For nearly two decades she has worked in schools, colleges, charities and in independent practice. That experience includes speaking with people at many life stages and with a wide range of concerns. Her work has included grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, intimacy issues, career stress and LGBT-related matters.

Kirsty uses an integrative style which combines core person-centred values with practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural methods. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on the issues you bring. She adapts her approach to what helps each person make progress.

She offers both face-to-face and remote sessions, using video calls, telephone, live chat and messaging. Those formats let people choose what fits their day and needs. Kirsty emphasises building emotional resilience and helping people manage life changes in realistic ways.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Person-centred counselling focuses on you and your experience. The therapist listens without judgement and helps you find your own solutions. It is useful for building self-worth and feeling better understood.

Cognitive behavioural techniques look at patterns of thinking and behaviour. They offer practical exercises and ways to test new responses, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk through options with you and try methods that match your goals and preferences. Over time the plan can be adjusted to what proves most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video, telephone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls let you have a face-to-face style conversation from wherever you are. Telephone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer no camera. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing text-based dialogue between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on progress.
