About Kirsty
Kirsty Peart is a counsellor who began her UK practice after gaining BACP accreditation. She has five years of experience supporting people who are stressed, anxious or coping with trauma and abuse. She also helps with issues linked to relationships, grief, eating, sleep and LGBT concerns.
Kirsty aims to create a calm space where people can talk without judgement. She keeps things straightforward and listens closely to what matters to each person. She encourages small, practical steps as well as moments of reflection.
In sessions she draws on client-centred ways of working to follow the client’s lead. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help spot unhelpful thought patterns and try different responses. Solution-focused methods are used when clients want short-term goals and clear next steps.
Kirsty works with people facing big life changes, addiction concerns, low self-esteem and stress from caring roles. She is familiar with a range of additional difficulties including attachment issues, dissociation and chronic illness. The focus is on what is useful now, and on realistic ways to make life easier.
People who choose Kirsty usually want a direct, down-to-earth approach. She aims to be warm and practical in sessions and to help clients build better day-to-day routines around sleep, coping and relationships. To start, she asks people to outline their concerns so sessions can be shaped to their needs.
Using client-centred and CBT ideas in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy is about creating a respectful, listening space where the client’s experience leads the work. It can help when someone needs a place to make sense of feelings and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce distress. It often suits people dealing with anxiety, sleep problems and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit the client’s needs. This is a collaborative conversation and plans can change as work progresses.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around a busy life and cutting travel time. Online work can make short check-ins easier to arrange and can help people stay consistent with appointments. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor sessions to help with sleep routines, coping strategies and day-to-day changes without promising particular outcomes.
