About Kirsty

Kirsty Peart is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who brings a practical, person-focused approach to therapy. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has five years of professional experience helping people manage anxiety, stress and trauma. Kirsty aims to make early steps feel achievable and straightforward for anyone who reaches out.

Her sessions begin by listening. She creates space for clients to talk about what is troubling them without feeling judged.

Background and approach

Conversations are guided by what the client wants to tackle, whether that is low mood, relationship problems, or issues linked to identity and sexuality. Kirsty combines talking-based methods that focus on the person with tools that help change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. This mix allows for practical strategies alongside deeper reflection on values and meaning.

Sessions often include setting small goals and checking what helps between meetings. She also works with concerns such as grief, addiction, parenting stress, sleep and eating difficulties, and coping with major life changes. Additional focuses include attachment and relationship patterns, body image, chronic illness or pain, and dissociation.

Kirsty takes a calm and steady tone and adapts to what each person needs. If someone prefers online work, she offers a range of session styles. Getting started is framed as a simple process that begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.

Ways of working Kirsty names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Kirsty’s approaches fit online therapy

Kirsty uses client-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in sessions, both of which adapt well to remote formats. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following what the person wants to talk about, which helps build trust early on in video or phone meetings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) brings practical exercises and simple tools to tackle anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits, and these can be shared and practised between sessions online.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kirsty will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that suit those aims. She checks in regularly to see what helps and makes adjustments so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give more flexibility. Video works well when visual rapport matters, phone can be better when bandwidth is limited, and messaging allows brief check-ins or step-by-step exercises between appointments. These options help fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress and steady support.
