Kirsten uses a client-centred way of working that focuses on each person’s experience. She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help with overwhelming thoughts and strong emotions.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and paced to suit the individual, with space to reflect and try out new ways of coping. Her background includes eight years working in counselling roles across the United Kingdom. Kirsten holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP.
That membership reflects her commitment to ongoing professional practice and standards. Typical concerns she helps people with include trauma and abuse, parenting strain, relationship and family problems, grief, mood and anxiety difficulties, ADHD and issues such as guilt, shame and isolation. She also supports people facing life changes, career stress, financial worries and compassion fatigue.
Therapy sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled to suit the person’s needs.
Working with client-centred and mindfulness approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's own experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what the person says and helps them find their own direction. This approach can help when someone feels stuck, unsure about choices, or needs a supportive space to understand feelings.Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without being swept away by them. Simple breathing and attention practices are used to reduce the intensity of anxiety and panic, and to build steady coping skills for stress and overwhelming emotions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kirsten works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. She adapts pacing and techniques over time so the work feels useful and manageable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, caring responsibilities or travel commitments.
