About Kirsty
Kirsty Peart is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP accreditation and five years of experience. She focuses on common pressures such as stress and anxiety, as well as trauma and abuse. Kirsty also supports people with relationship and family concerns and LGBT matters.
She aims to make the first step into therapy easier for those who are worried about reaching out. Kirsty creates a calm, non-judgmental space where people can put their thoughts into words.
Background and approach
Conversations are conversational and straightforward. She listens closely and helps clients make sense of their feelings before deciding what to try next. Her approach includes client-centred work that builds on a person’s own strengths.
She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small changes. Solution-focused tools are used when people want to identify practical next steps and see quicker shifts. Kirsty is used to working with a wide range of concerns, including depression, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career worries and ADHD.
She also attends to attachment, abandonment and body-image issues when they come up in sessions. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged to suit different routines. Kirsty aims to work at a pace that feels manageable and to support clients as they test out new ways of coping and relating.
How Kirsty uses talking therapies online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the individual's experience and aims to help people feel heard and understood. It is useful when someone needs a space to make sense of feelings and to build confidence in their own choices.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at what people think and do and how that keeps problems going. It helps with anxiety, low mood and patterns like unhelpful thinking by testing small behavioural or thinking changes in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and the plan is adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions can take place by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video gives more of a face-to-face feel, phone calls can be an easier way to fit a session into a busy day, and text or chat options are useful for short check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These formats make it simpler to arrange regular work despite distance, work hours or travel constraints.
