Background and approach

Conversations are paced to suit the person, with space to reflect and try new ways of coping. Her approach draws on client-centred principles and cognitive behavioural ideas to help with anxiety, stress and low mood. She also supports people facing trauma, grief and relationship difficulties.

Other concerns she addresses include addiction, eating and sleeping problems, anger and self-esteem issues. Kirsty also works with people dealing with parenting strain, caregiver stress, first responder issues, and chronic illness or pain. She pays attention to attachment, abandonment and communication problems when these come up in sessions.

The focus is practical change and clearer sense of direction. Sessions use a collaborative style where the person sets goals and Kirsty offers tools and feedback. She accepts international clients and works in English.

This makes it possible for people to arrange appointments that fit their routines and time zones.

How Kirsty’s approaches work online

Kirsty combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas to support people in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person, which helps build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioural therapy offers practical techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours, useful for anxiety and sleeping or eating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kirsty will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adjust the style as therapy progresses. This collaborative process helps make sessions useful from the first meetings.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typed communication or need flexible timing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and different time zones for international clients.
