Kirsty Ginger, BACP

Kirsty Ginger is a counsellor with ten years of professional experience. She practices from a person-centred perspective and works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Kirsty aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, respectful space to begin talking.

Kirsty holds a Level 5 foundation degree in counselling and a BACP accreditation. She also has qualifications in domestic abuse support (IDVA), Level 2 mental health, and Cruse bereavement training. She is currently undertaking a children and young person qualification. These credentials inform her everyday work without defining how she meets each person.

In sessions she focuses on listening carefully and responding without judgment. Conversations are tailored to the person rather than following a fixed script. This can include looking at communication patterns, trust issues, and ways to cope with painful memories or loss.

She has experience helping couples work to regain trust and improve how they talk with each other. Kirsty describes therapy as a practical space to try new ways of speaking and relating, not just a place to talk about the past.

Practical concerns like ongoing illness, caregiving stress, or body image can also be addressed in shorter focused sessions or more open-ended work. Kirsty supports people from different backgrounds and will work with you to find a pace that feels manageable.

Approaches to online counselling and how they help

Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the counsellor. It helps people who need a non-judgemental space to talk, work through feelings, and make choices about change.

Practical grief work uses guided conversations and tasks to help someone cope with loss and its daily impact. This can involve memory work, routines to manage difficult moments, and ways to carry on with everyday responsibilities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options with the client, try things that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as goals and preferences become clearer. That collaborative process helps shape each session.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session options are currently offered before booking. Confirming this lets you pick an arrangement that fits your life and schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when that suits your routine. It can also allow conversations to continue when appointments would otherwise be difficult to keep, helping therapy to connect with everyday needs.
