About Kirstie
Kirstie Beckman is a counsellor with five years' experience who offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through tough moments. She holds BACP registration, and she meets people where they are to explore anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, grief and parenting concerns. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on practical next steps as well as understanding feelings.
Kirstie draws on client-centred listening to make people feel heard and understood.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help spot unhelpful thoughts and test them in day-to-day life. This mix means conversations can be both reflective and action-orientated. Her work pays close attention to how past experiences shape current patterns.
That includes attachment and abandonment wounds, codependency, and how people cope after betrayal or separation. She aims to help people recognise repeated patterns and try different responses. Practical concerns like communication problems, blended family stress, work and career strain, or caregiving pressure are part of the work.
Kirstie supports people dealing with eating and body image issues, anger, dissociation and compassion fatigue too. Therapy with Kirstie focuses on building self-understanding, emotional regulation and self-compassion. Conversations look at values and small steps that lead to clearer choices.
The aim is a steadier, more authentic way of living.

How Kirstie uses her approaches online
Kirstie combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques in a way that translates well to online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people feel heard; it supports exploration of feelings, values and relationships in a gentle way. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and offers practical experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving, useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kirstie will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. This collaborative process means plans can change as needs evolve and new challenges appear.
Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and routines. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support brief reflections between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving or busy lives, while keeping the focus on progress and practical changes.
