About Kirsty
Kirsty Peart is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years of professional experience and focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety and trauma. Kirsty aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.
Kirsty creates a calm space where people can talk through difficult feelings without judgment. She listens to what matters to each person and helps them name priorities they want to work on. Sessions are about small, achievable changes rather than quick fixes.
Her work often covers issues linked to relationships, grief and loss, and identity questions including LGBT concerns. She also supports people dealing with addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and day-to-day strains like career pressure and parenting stress. Practical coping strategies and clearer routines are common topics in sessions.
Kirsty draws on several counselling approaches to match the needs of each person. She uses client-centred ways of listening, elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and solution-focused techniques to set concrete goals. Existential ideas about meaning and choice may also appear when people are facing life changes.
People who prefer a warm, straightforward therapist who keeps things practical often find her style helpful. She works in English and can meet people across the United Kingdom and internationally. To begin, readers are invited to use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a first appointment.
How Kirsty uses counselling approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor reflects what you say and helps you find your own answers, which can help with low mood, stress and identity questions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical steps to change how you respond to anxiety, sleeping or eating issues.
Solution-Focused Therapy is goal-directed and short-term. It concentrates on small, realistic changes and on what is already working in your life, which can be useful for career concerns, parenting stress and coping with change.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Kirsty will talk with you about your aims and preferences and together you will try ways of working that suit your needs. That collaboration helps shape a plan you can use between sessions.
