More about Kirsty

- BACP
After graduating in 2005 I have been working as a counsellor in a variety of settings including schools, colleges, charities and private practice. My work has included clients from age of 6 years old to over 75. I am experienced in providing face to face and remote sessions which include: video, telephone and live chat.
I have a Post graduate Diploma in Advanced Counselling and Psychotherapy, a Graduate Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling and a Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I am a registered member of the BACP and am eligible for accreditation.
My original training was as a Person-Centred therapist but through further training and continued professional development my practice has developed in to an integrative model.
My experience of working with clients has included, but is not limited to: anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, relationships, addiction,
anger, emotional regulation, suicidal ideation, self-harm and stress.
I have a strong passion and commitment to working with people of all ages and backgrounds, supporting them with building their emotional resilience and achieving positive mental health.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
