Kirsten Lawrence offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or major life changes. She speaks plainly and listens closely, helping clients make sense of difficult emotions and find small, doable steps forward. Kirsten uses dialogue and reflection to help people feel heard and understood.

She draws on client-centred methods that follow the person’s pace and priorities. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the client and build on their own strengths.

Background and approach

Mindfulness techniques are used to help manage intense feelings and bring attention back to the present moment. Kirsten has eight years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes supporting people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, relationship problems and workplace stress.

She also helps with mood disorders, panic, ADHD and issues around self-esteem. Sessions are conversational and practical. Kirsten works with clients to identify coping strategies, improve communication and reduce repetitive unhelpful patterns.

She offers a non-judgemental space to talk through guilt, shame, isolation or questions about life purpose. Therapy can include short exercises, mindfulness practice and reflection between sessions when helpful. Kirsten accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally, and she offers a range of online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

How Kirsten’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred therapy places the client’s concerns at the heart of each session. It involves active listening, reflection and questions that help people identify their own goals and strengths. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, relationship strain and caregiver stress.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and manage anxiety or panic. It can include short exercises done during sessions and brief practices to use between meetings, which often helps with mood regulation and grounding after trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Kirsten will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to match their needs, goals and comfort with online formats. Decisions about techniques are made together so therapy feels collaborative and tailored.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a full conversational experience, while phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or use less data. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, notes between sessions or moments when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it possible to keep continuity of care across different schedules and locations, and to choose the format that helps someone engage most effectively.
