Kirstie Beckman is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers a calm, accepting space where people can talk about what feels hard. Sessions are paced to the individual and focus on practical ways to feel steadier and clearer.

She has five years of experience supporting adults through anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship struggles. Kirstie also helps with issues around self-esteem, eating and intimacy-related worries.

Background and approach

She pays attention to how past experiences shape current patterns and reactions. Kirstie uses approaches drawn from Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. That means conversations centre on the person’s own goals while also learning simple ways to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

Sessions aim to increase emotional awareness and coping skills. People often come to her feeling stuck after life changes, betrayal, or repeated conflict. She works with concerns such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication problems and caregiver stress.

Work can include talking through boundaries, managing anger, and rebuilding trust in relationships. Practical support is part of the work. Kirstie offers coaching-style guidance alongside therapy to help with career decisions or daily stress.

She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines.

How Kirstie’s approaches work in online therapy

Kirstie uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres the conversation on the person’s own priorities and pace. This approach helps people feel heard and respected while they work through difficult emotions and choices.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. CBT offers clear, practical tools to test and change unhelpful thoughts and to build new coping habits for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kirstie will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then she and the client decide together which methods to use. This keeps therapy responsive and collaborative as needs change.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever there is a quiet, stable connection. Phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited or if someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or continuing work between longer sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can offer this range so people can pick formats that match their routines and comfort.
