About Kirsty
Kirsty Peart is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has worked professionally for 3 years and helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse. Kirsty also supports people with LGBT matters and relationship or family tensions, using a calm and accepting approach.
She aims to make the therapy room a place where people can name difficult feelings without fear of judgement. Sessions focus on the person in front of her, using listening and practical conversation to clarify what matters most.
Background and approach
Kirsty encourages small, manageable steps rather than pushing for dramatic change. Kirsty draws on client-centred counselling to follow what the person brings to the session. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals.
Her practice is straightforward and rooted in everyday language. Expect plain talk, questions that prompt reflection, and tasks you can try between sessions. She pays attention to how life routines, sleep and relationships affect mood and coping.
People come to Kirsty for help with grief, addictions, self-esteem, anger, parenting strain and work stress. She also supports those dealing with eating or sleeping difficulties, chronic illness, ADHD and other complex issues. If you decide to start, Kirsty works with you at your own pace.

How Kirsty’s approaches translate to online counselling
Kirsty uses client-centred counselling which means she follows the person’s concerns and tries to understand their perspective. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around what matters to them.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a method that looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and tests small changes to reduce distress. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and mood swings by giving concrete tools to try between meetings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kirsty collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she checks in regularly to adjust the plan as needed.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family, work or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or conversations without the need to travel to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find online sessions helpful for keeping momentum between meetings and for working on practical tasks together.
