About Kirsty

Kirsty Lee works on stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns using clear, practical counselling methods. She draws on several approaches to help people manage low mood, self-esteem issues, grief, trauma and relationship strains. Kirsty is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience in the UK.

Kirsty keeps explanations simple and avoids jargon. Sessions focus on helping people notice patterns, practise manageable skills and make small changes that fit everyday life. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred work to support this practical focus.

Her background includes supporting people through trauma and abuse, sexual assault, postpartum depression and self-harm. She also helps with attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, fatherhood questions and problems that affect young adults. This range reflects experience with both mood and relational difficulties.

In a typical session Kirsty talks through what is worrying someone now, identifies what they want to change, and suggests simple exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness-based strategies are offered as ways to manage stress and to build awareness of difficult thoughts and feelings.

Kirsty accepts international clients and works in English. Costs vary by location and sessions operate through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, users select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Kirsty uses CBT, ACT and client-centred work online

Kirsty uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try out different ways of reacting. This approach is practical and often includes simple tasks to practise between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and accepting difficult feelings alongside committed action; it can help when low mood or avoidance get in the way of living well. Client-centred work prioritises the person’s own goals and experience, and supports reflection and self-directed change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kirsty will discuss options with each person and help decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be combined as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work, study or family commitments and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments and try short check-ins when life is busy. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what to expect.
