About Kirsty

Kirsty Peart is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings five years of practice to her work. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She aims to make the first step easier for people by offering a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about what feels hard right now.

Kirsty listens to each person’s story and helps them find practical ways forward. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and grief, and she also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns. Her work covers trauma and abuse, LGBT matters, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, and coping with life changes including recovery from distress after disasters.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Kirsty uses client-centred methods to follow what matters most to the client, and she draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try alternative responses. She also uses solution-focused and existential ideas when it helps to clarify values and next steps.

Sessions are conversational and aim to be practical. She helps people break big problems into manageable tasks, try small changes between meetings, and reflect on what works. Kirsty works at a steady pace and adapts sessions to the needs and rhythms of each person.

If you decide to begin, the usual process is to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions. She accepts international clients and holds her BACP credential as shown.

How Kirsty’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead. It helps people feel heard and decide what matters most to them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and identity questions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It involves spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical tasks to change them, helpful for stress, sleep problems and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kirsty will explore your needs, goals and preferences with you and agree on methods that suit the situation. That means sessions can shift over time as priorities change and new goals emerge.

Because the biography does not specify session formats, please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around a busy day, or offering alternatives when a longer in-person session is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people maintain regular contact and try between-session tasks without major disruption.
