About Kirsty

Kirsty Peart is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years of professional experience in the UK. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and other life pressures. Kirsty aims to make the initial step into therapy straightforward and respectful.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. She listens to what matters most and helps people talk through immediate problems. Sessions can cover everyday worries like sleep, eating, parenting pressures, work stress, and anger that is causing friction at home or work.

Kirsty uses methods from client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice patterns and try new responses. She also draws on existential and solution-focused ideas to clarify what a person values and to set short-term goals. The emphasis is on clear steps and honest conversation rather than labels or long tests.

In early meetings she helps clients set priorities and plans that fit their life. That may mean practical coping strategies, changes to thoughts and behaviours, or simpler ways to handle conflict and resentment. She works in English and accepts clients from outside the UK when arrangements allow.

Practical details are straightforward. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people follow the online matching process and book an initial appointment.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change in their life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers practical techniques to break unhelpful cycles, which can help with anxiety, anger and sleep issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then agree a plan together. That might be trying CBT techniques for a period, using solution-focused steps for immediate problems, or combining methods to suit the situation.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can fit into busy weeks and reduce travel time, and some formats make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to avoid being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals typically adapt session length and tasks to suit day-to-day life, helping people apply what they practice in therapy to real situations.
