About Kirsty

Kirsty Lee is a counsellor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She introduces therapy in clear, simple terms and focuses on small, achievable steps. Kirsty works with concerns around family relationships, parenting strains and grief.

She also supports people coping with trauma, self-harm thoughts, low self-esteem and issues linked to attachment and abandonment. Kirsty trained in the United Kingdom and holds BACP.

Background and approach

She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness alongside a client-centred way of working. Sessions are collaborative and aim to build skills that can be used day to day. She keeps language conversational and avoids confusing jargon so people know what to expect.

In early sessions Kirsty helps people clarify what matters to them and sets practical goals together. She uses structured exercises to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and to practise new responses. Mindfulness and ACT ideas are introduced when they suit the person's needs to improve emotional regulation and tolerance.

People can expect a calm, straightforward approach that focuses on doable changes. Kirsty is experienced in addressing blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, postpartum depression and young adult issues, along with social anxiety and mood disorders. She also supports those affected by sexual assault and abuse and other traumatic experiences.

Therapy is offered in several online formats so sessions can fit into busy lives. The emphasis is on finding what works for each person and building tools they can use after therapy ends.

How Kirsty uses talking therapy online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on what matters to you and on taking small steps towards those values. It helps when worry or low mood keeps you stuck and you want a more purposeful direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, depression and social fears. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and gentle reflection to help people feel understood and heard.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kirsty works collaboratively to decide which ideas to use based on your goals and preferences. She will try techniques, review how they feel, and adjust the plan so it stays relevant to your situation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and rhythms. Video sessions are close to meeting face to face and suit deeper conversations. Phone calls can be shorter check-ins or helpful when bandwidth is low. Live chat and messaging let you send notes or have scheduled text conversations if that fits your routine better. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting or study commitments while working with registered or accredited professionals.
