About Kirsty

Kirsty Peart is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and a broad range of life challenges. Kirsty aims to make the first step easier and welcomes the courage it takes to reach out for help.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She creates a space where people can talk about difficult feelings without feeling judged. Sessions focus on practical steps and understanding what matters most to each person. Kirsty listens first, and then helps clients work out manageable next steps.

She uses a mix of approaches, including Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. These give her ways to listen closely, challenge unhelpful thinking, and set small practical goals. Therapy might include trying new behaviours, testing ideas, and noticing changes over time.

Kirsty works with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and trauma, such as relationship issues, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, ADHD, and career stress. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, chronic illness and other complex issues.

Sessions are offered in English and Kirsty accepts international clients. The process involves a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to availability, using a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Kirsty’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and creating an accepting space so people can speak freely about what matters to them. It helps when someone needs to be heard and understood before making changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and tries small experiments to test new ways of thinking. It is useful for worries, anxiety, sleep problems and practical life changes.

Finding the right approach is something to work out together. Kirsty will talk with the client about goals, preferences and how they respond to different ideas. Therapy is collaborative and she adjusts methods to suit what is helpful in the moment.

If you are considering online work, check the available session options before booking because the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as attending from a quieter spot, avoiding travel time, or using a shorter check-in when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can carry out most of the same conversational and practical work online, while deciding together whether particular techniques or homework tasks suit remote sessions.
