About Kirsten

Kirsten Lawrence helps people work through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures and life changes using person-centred practice and mindfulness. She works from a collaborative, nonjudgemental stance and uses counselling to increase self-awareness and personal strengths. Kirsten is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years' experience.

She offers time to talk through difficult experiences and to reflect on how past events affect day-to-day life. Sessions focus on listening, exploring options and building practical ways to manage intense feelings. Mindfulness is used to help notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them.

Kirsten describes her overall approach as integrative, drawing on humanistic ideas and related therapies to suit the person in front of her. That means she may use aspects of Transactional Analysis, psychodynamic thinking, cognitive behaviour ideas, Gestalt, psychosynthesis and existential ways of working as helpful.

The work may involve looking at relationships, self-esteem and how roles such as parenting or caregiving affect stress levels. She also supports people facing grief, career questions, identity and issues around boundaries or control. Sessions aim to increase a person's sense of agency and practical coping skills.

People who choose Kirsten can expect a conversational, reflective style that balances emotional exploration with practical steps. The counselling model used is selected with the client's aims in mind.

How Kirsten uses counselling approaches in online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the session. The counsellor listens nonjudgementally and follows the person's lead to build understanding and self-direction; this approach helps with low self-esteem, relationship concerns and emotional confusion.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice thoughts and bodily responses. It can help with anxiety, panic symptoms and managing strong emotions by providing moment-to-moment awareness and grounding techniques.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Kirsten will discuss what feels helpful and adapt her approach based on the person's goals, preferences and day-to-day needs. This is a collaborative decision made together rather than a fixed prescription.

Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. It can make it easier to schedule short check-ins or regular weekly appointments around work or family commitments.
