About Kirsty
Kirsty Peart is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP accreditation and five years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and a range of relationship and wellbeing concerns. Kirsty aims to make the first steps easier by offering a calm, non-judgemental space to talk.
Her approach is down-to-earth and warm. She listens first and helps people say what matters most. Sessions focus on building understanding of patterns, spotting practical steps, and finding ways to cope that suit each person’s life.
Kirsty uses methods drawn from client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. She also draws on existential and solution-focused ideas to help people clarify values and set short, realistic goals.
People come to Kirsty for many issues, including grief, addictions, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, eating and sleeping difficulties, and ongoing low mood. She also supports people with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue and complex presentations that include dissociation or attachment difficulties.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Kirsty helps people map small changes that make daily life easier while also holding the bigger questions. If you are thinking about starting therapy, she asks that you choose the continue button on this profile and complete the short matching questionnaire to book an appointment.
She works in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and therapist availability, and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-Centred Therapy is based on listening, understanding and giving people space to find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs a non-judgemental place to talk through feelings and decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviours and testing small changes that can reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines.Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That process can include reviewing what helps and adjusting the plan as work progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session format options before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. Many people find it simpler to maintain regular appointments this way, and a practical approach using CBT or solution-focused steps translates well to remote sessions.
