More about Kirsty
- 19 years' experience

- BACP
After graduating in 2005 I have been working as a counsellor in a variety of settings including schools, colleges, charities and private practice. My work has included clients from age of 6 years old to over 75. I am experienced in providing face to face and remote sessions which include: video, telephone and live chat.
I have a Post graduate Diploma in Advanced Counselling and Psychotherapy, a Graduate Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling and a Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I am a registered member of the BACP and am eligible for accreditation.
My original training was as a Person-Centred therapist but through further training and continued professional development my practice has developed in to an integrative model.
My experience of working with clients has included, but is not limited to: anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, relationships, addiction,
anger, emotional regulation, suicidal ideation, self-harm and stress.
I have a strong passion and commitment to working with people of all ages and backgrounds, supporting them with building their emotional resilience and achieving positive mental health.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
