About Kirstie
Kirstie Beckman is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical experience. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. Kirstie helps individuals who are dealing with grief, changes at work or in life, and struggles with self-esteem.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens for what matters most and adapts sessions to each person’s needs rather than following a single method.
Background and approach
Kirstie pays attention to how past experiences and unmet needs can shape current feelings and behaviour. Sessions focus on building self-understanding and improving emotion regulation. Practical conversations and small experiments between sessions are used to test what helps in daily life.
She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, eating and body image issues, and compassion fatigue. Kirstie uses Client-Centred principles alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to offer both empathic listening and practical tools. That mix allows room for honest reflection and concrete strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety.
She can also help with communication problems, commitment worries, and feelings of emptiness. People who reach out can expect steady, respectful pacing and clear focus on goals. The work is aimed at increasing self-compassion and reconnecting with personal values.
Over time the aim is to create more grounded, manageable ways of coping with life's stresses.
Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding your experience without judgement. The counsellor offers reflective listening and supports you to find your own solutions, which can help with anxiety, self-worth and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical techniques such as thought records and behavioural experiments to reduce unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like stress and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and help choose or blend methods that suit your situation. That collaborative process means the plan can change as your needs evolve.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit conversations that benefit from face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing written work between appointments. These options aim to make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, family life and other commitments.
