About Kirsty

Kirsty Peart is a counsellor who works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. She has five years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and trauma. Kirsty aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly.

Kirsty helps with a wide range of concerns including relationship strains, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and struggles with self-esteem. She also supports people facing ADHD, addiction, bipolar mood issues and career-related stress. Midlife crisis is listed among the areas she addresses, alongside parenting and caregiver stress.

Her way of working is practical and person-focused. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, and she uses clear, everyday language rather than clinical terms. Clients can expect straightforward conversations about goals and what might help day to day.

Kirsty draws on several counselling approaches, including client-centred work that follows the person’s lead, and cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours. She also uses existential and solution-focused ways of working to help people consider meaning and small, practical steps forward.

She offers help in English and accepts clients from outside the UK. Therapy is arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and practical details are confirmed when arranging sessions.

How Kirsty’s approaches translate to online therapy

Kirsty uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas in her practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on following the person’s lead, listening closely and reflecting what comes up so people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kirsty works with each person to identify goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapts her way of working as progress is made. That means the method can shift over time to match changing needs.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow sessions to slot into work or family schedules. Some formats use less bandwidth or allow shorter check-ins when that suits a person better. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
