About Kirsty
Kirsty Peart is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years of practice and focuses on practical help for anxiety, stress and the aftermath of trauma. She aims to make first steps feel easier and to offer steady, non-judgemental support for people reaching out.
Kirsty keeps sessions straightforward and person-centred. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talking through current problems, spotting unhelpful patterns, and trying small changes that make daily life easier. She also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and issues linked to sexual identity. Kirsty helps with sleeping and eating difficulties, parenting strain, and coping with big life changes.
She recognises when stress or burnout has taken hold and works on practical ways to reduce pressure. Kirsty draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to gently challenge thoughts that feed anxiety. She uses a client-centred stance to follow what matters most to the person in front of her.
When useful, she introduces short solution-focused steps so clients can see progress quickly. Sessions are offered across phone, video, live chat and messaging so people can choose what fits their day. Kirsty works with individuals seeking clearer ways to cope, rebuild routines, and feel more in control after difficult experiences.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgment and helps the client explore feelings at their own pace, which suits people coping with grief or identity concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful patterns that keep problems going.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then together decide which methods to try first. This collaborative process allows adjustments as needs change over time.
Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls are close to face-to-face contact and allow visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good short check-in option. Live chat and text messaging let people use brief check-ins, write things down, or follow up between longer sessions. These options support flexibility and make it simpler to maintain regular contact with a registered or accredited professional.
