Kirsty Woodier helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strains, grief and issues with self-esteem. She supports those dealing with addiction, family conflict, parenting challenges, trauma and anger. Kirsty also works with career worries, life changes and people exploring ADHD concerns.

She uses straightforward, person-centred conversation alongside practical strategies to help you move forward. Kirsty sees therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions start by listening to what matters to you and what you want to change.

Background and approach

She offers empathy and a non-judgemental approach while also introducing simple tools when they will help. Clients are encouraged to set clear, manageable goals and to notice small steps of progress. Her background includes a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Psychology and a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.

Kirsty is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She continues with ongoing supervision and professional development to keep her practice current. In sessions she blends client-centred work with practical cognitive behavioural techniques.

That mix allows space for open exploration while addressing unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Meetings can focus on understanding feelings, building coping skills, or practising new ways of communicating. Kirsty offers therapy with clear, simple language and realistic steps.

She aims to make talking about hard things feel easier and to help people build routines that support change. If you want calm, practical support and a therapist who listens, Kirsty provides a steady, compassionate presence.

How Kirsty combines person-centred work and CBT online

Kirsty uses client-centred therapy to create a space where people can speak openly. This approach focuses on listening without judgement and helping clients find their own answers. It suits people who need empathetic support and a chance to explore feelings.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used alongside person-centred work to tackle thinking patterns and behaviours. CBT offers practical tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills for anxiety, depression and relationship worries.

Choosing an approach is a joint decision. Kirsty will talk with you about your goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. She tailors the balance of talking and practical exercises to suit each person rather than following a fixed formula.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let you meet face to face when that matters. Phone work can be simpler when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, notes between sessions and more flexible scheduling. Many people find this range of options helps them stay consistent with therapy while managing everyday commitments.
