Kirsty Lee is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She offers calm, down-to-earth support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Kirsty also helps with grief, trauma and abuse concerns and the emotional fallout from parenting and family problems.

She explains things simply and avoids jargon. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her - daily coping, understanding emotions, and practical steps to feel steadier.

Background and approach

Kirsty uses conversational work and exercises so people leave sessions with something they can try. Kirsty draws on several well-known approaches to suit different needs, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, alongside client-centred and mindfulness-based ways of working. She adapts these methods to address issues such as attachment difficulties, abandonment, blended family strain, fatherhood concerns and postpartum depression.

Her practice also covers self-harm, self-love, social anxiety and young adult issues. With an emphasis on pacing and collaboration, she helps people break larger problems into manageable steps and build simple skills that fit everyday life. Kirsty is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and offers sessions in English.

She accepts international clients and works with people by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take steps toward those values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to reduce symptoms and change patterns that cause distress. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, using empathic listening and unconditional acceptance to help them explore feelings and build self-understanding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to find what fits the client's needs, goals and preferences. That might mean trying one method for a few sessions or combining elements from different approaches to find what helps most.

Online therapy with Kirsty is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when more nuance is helpful. Phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing support between meetings, or people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and reach a therapist when location or schedule would otherwise be a barrier.
