About Kirsty

Kirsty Nash works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and life changes, using a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). Kirsty has ten years' experience in the field.

Kirsty works in a collaborative way and treats the person rather than a label. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She uses client-centred methods to listen and reflect, and draws on CBT and ACT techniques to address patterns of thinking and behaviour.

In cases of trauma and abuse she combines stabilising skills with approaches that address attachment and relationship patterns. For people dealing with grief or major life changes she helps build coping strategies and routines that make everyday life more manageable.

She also supports people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, guilt and shame, self-harm, and challenges linked to autism and young adult transitions. Work on relationships includes examining attachment issues and communication habits rather than couple sessions.

Kirsty describes counselling as a practical collaboration. Sessions mix discussion, emotion-focused reflection and skill-building exercises. She encourages people to try techniques between sessions and review what helps over time.

How Kirsty uses evidence-based approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, low motivation and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that developed earlier in life and how they affect current connections. It can help with relationship difficulties, trust and attachment issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety and depression and includes practical exercises to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try together. This makes sessions a collaborative process where approaches can be adjusted if something does not fit.

Confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified in this biography. Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow regular check-ins from different locations. They also make it easier to use worksheets and skills practice in the moment.
