Kirsty Nash is a counsellor with ten years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety and depression. Kirsty also supports those coping with trauma, grief, low self-esteem and life changes.

She believes people know their own stories and brings a respectful, listening approach to each session. Kirsty helps clients identify strengths and build practical skills. She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and steady.

Background and approach

Kirsty uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and to try small changes. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take actions that matter to them.

Attachment-based work is part of her practice when relational patterns are important. Dialectical behaviour strategies and client-centred listening are used to support emotional regulation and to create a calm space to talk things through. These methods are chosen to match each person's goals and situation.

Sessions aim to balance practical strategies with emotional exploration. Kirsty helps people practise new coping skills between meetings. Her style is warm, straightforward and focused on what will help most in day-to-day life.

How Kirsty’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that match what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and decisions about life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches simple experiments to test unhelpful thinking. This approach often helps with stress, low mood and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns in close relationships and how they affect current feelings and behaviour, which can be helpful when relationship patterns or early experiences feel relevant.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and choose techniques together. That collaborative process means approaches can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are good when visual contact helps the conversation. Phone sessions can suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer to be off camera. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins or times when typing is easier. These formats offer flexibility for work, study and busy family life while keeping the focus on practical strategies and steady progress.
