About Kirsty

Kirsty Peart works with stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, family conflict and trauma and abuse using a person-centred way of working. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience in the field.

Kirsty listens for what matters most to a person and helps them talk through current difficulties. Sessions focus on practical steps and understanding thoughts and feelings. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques when helpful to address unhelpful thinking and patterns.

Her style is straightforward and focused on what clients want to change. Solution-focused ideas are used to identify small, achievable goals. Existential themes are also part of her work when people question meaning or life direction.

She has worked with people facing grief, relationship strains, addiction concerns, sleeping and eating issues, and parenting stress. Kirsty also supports people dealing with chronic illness, body image, attachment and dissociation related concerns.

Kirsty offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Her approach emphasises collaborative planning and clear steps people can try between sessions. Fees vary with location and sessions operate through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and on the person's own priorities; online sessions still centre on the client's concerns and on helping them express thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy involves noticing and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying practical experiments; this can work well in remote sessions where tasks and thought records are reviewed together.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kirsty will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as those needs change.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow follow-up between sessions. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and sessions without video if someone prefers less bandwidth or a different setup.
