Kirsty Peart is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and a BACP accreditation. She focuses on helping people take the first step through gentle, practical support. Kirsty aims to make starting therapy a manageable move rather than a big leap.
She creates a non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns. Kirsty also works with issues around LGBT matters, grief, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and self-esteem.
Background and approach
Sessions are intended to let people say what matters and begin to sort through it. Kirsty combines client-centred listening with practical strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused methods. This means she listens first, then helps people try small changes and different ways of thinking that can make daily life easier.
She also draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning when life feels confusing. Her practice includes support for parenting strains, anger, career worries, bipolar challenges, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and dissociation.
Kirsty adapts her approach to the problem brought to the session. Sessions can be carried out online by video, phone, live chat or messaging to suit how people prefer to communicate. She accepts international clients and works in English.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
Approaches and online therapy options
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can explore feelings and make their own choices about change.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It helps people notice thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and then try practical exercises to shift them.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on what people want to be different and builds on strengths to create small, achievable goals. It is useful for practical problems and short-term changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging lets people write between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and can help fit counselling around work, family and other commitments.
