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 helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Kirsty aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to begin.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual, whether that is coping with grief, exploring intimacy-related worries, or managing addictive behaviours. Kirsty also supports people dealing with career pressures, self-esteem struggles, ADHD-related challenges, and anger.

Her practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow each person’s lead and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small, practical changes. She also uses Solution-Focused techniques to set achievable goals and Existential ideas when people want to explore meaning and life choices.

Kirsty works with people on a range of additional concerns, including attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic pain or illness, caregiver stress, and dissociation. She supports those coping with big life changes and compassion fatigue as well.

Sessions are conducted in English and Kirsty accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. It means the therapist follows the person’s pace, reflects what they say, and helps them feel accepted while they talk through problems such as relationship stress, grief, or identity questions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to test unhelpful thinking and try different ways of coping with anxiety, anger, sleep or mood difficulties.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on goals and what works for the person now. It is useful for people who want clear steps and short-term progress on issues like stress, career decisions, or parenting strains.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Kirsty will work collaboratively to understand needs and priorities, and then suggest ways of working that fit those aims. That choice can change over time as goals and circumstances evolve.

Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into everyday life, making it easier to schedule around work, caregiving or travel. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it simpler to have regular check-ins, use short sessions for quick issues, or do longer conversations when more time is needed.
