About Kirsty

Kirsty Peart is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing stress, anxiety and trauma. She holds BACP registration, and she draws on five years of practical experience to help callers find clearer ways forward. Kirsty aims to make the first step easier for people who feel uncertain about reaching out for support.

She creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement. Sessions focus on listening closely, naming the issues that are most troubling, and working together to find small, useful changes. Kirsty emphasises plain language and practical next steps rather than jargon.

The approach often mixes client-centred work with practical thinking tools from cognitive behavioural therapy. That can mean reflecting on how experiences shape feelings, then identifying small steps to change patterns that cause harm. She also uses existential ideas to help people make sense of big life questions, and solution-focused techniques to set short-term, achievable goals.

Kirsty has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including LGBT matters, relationship and family stresses, grief, addictions, sleep and eating issues, ADHD and chronic health challenges. She also lists work around abandonment, attachment difficulties and dissociation among her focus areas.

If someone decides to begin, Kirsty asks them to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a session. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and she accepts international clients. Confirm the current session options before booking to ensure they match personal needs.

Step 3

Approaches that shape online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the session. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is said and supports the person to follow their own pace and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and emotional clarity.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns and small, step-by-step tasks to alter behaviour. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep and some stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help identify which methods match a person’s goals, needs and preferences, and they will adapt over time as those needs change. That decision is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.

Confirm the precise session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reducing travel time and allowing sessions around work or caregiving schedules. It also makes access possible for people living outside the therapist's local area. Ask about practical details when scheduling so sessions fit into everyday routines.
