About Kirsty
Kirsty Lee is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety and supports those facing depression, low self-esteem, and grief. Kirsty also helps with parenting and family-related concerns and with issues such as self-harm and post-traumatic distress.
She keeps language straight and simple in sessions so people understand what is happening. Kirsty draws on several practical approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centred ways of working.
Background and approach
She uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. Her way of working is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on building coping skills, spotting unhelpful patterns, and finding small, realistic changes that make daily life easier.
She helps clients learn how to manage mood, handle social anxiety or phobias, and work through attachment or abandonment worries. Kirsty has experience supporting people after sexual assault and abuse, and she attends to the effects that trauma can have on mood and relationships. She also works with issues around blended families, fatherhood, and young adult concerns.
People can expect a calm, respectful approach that encourages self-awareness and practical change. Kirsty aims to make counselling clear and accessible so clients can use what they learn in their everyday lives.
How Kirsty uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, mood struggles and problems where avoidance gets in the way of living. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. It suits worries like social anxiety, phobias and low mood by teaching clear techniques to test and shift thoughts.Kirsty sees finding the right approach as a joint process. She will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, try different techniques where needed, and adjust the plan together over time. That shared decision-making helps make sure the work fits each person’s situation.
Online therapy with Kirsty is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for conversations that benefit from seeing facial expression. Phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and busy days while keeping the therapeutic focus intact.
