About Kirsty
Kirsty Woodier is a counsellor and psychotherapist in the United Kingdom with three years' experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, family and parenting challenges, and anger. She also helps with career concerns, coping with life changes, ADHD and related issues.
Kirsty mainly uses a person-centred approach. Sessions focus on the client's own priorities and on practical steps they want to try. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques when they suit a person’s goals and situation.
Her training includes a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and a level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She attends regular clinical supervision and ongoing professional development workshops to maintain practice standards as a BACP member.
In sessions she listens to the story a person brings and helps them name patterns and reactions. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviours with CBT tools, or using client-centred ways of working to clarify values and choices. The pace is set by the person in front of her, with focus on small, achievable changes.
People contact Kirsty for help with everyday triggers, mounting resentment, or feeling overwhelmed by relationships and family life. She supports practical problem solving and clearer communication. If someone is unsure about session options, they should confirm the available formats before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Kirsty uses client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely to how someone describes their life and priorities, and helping them find their own next steps. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anger, anxiety and low mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together they decide whether person-centred conversations, CBT techniques, or a combination best fits the situation. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The main practical benefit of remote sessions is fitting therapy around everyday life. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, schedule appointments around work or childcare, or avoid travel time. If you want to know which session formats she offers, confirm the options before booking so you can pick what fits your day and your goals.
