About Kirsty
Kirsty Peart is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings five years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and trauma. Kirsty also helps with concerns such as depression, addictions, relationship strain, grief and parenting pressures.
She keeps sessions straightforward and person-centred. Kirsty aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement. She encourages small, practical steps people can use between sessions.
Background and approach
In practice she blends client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy. This mix suits people who want to feel heard and also try new ways of managing difficult thoughts and behaviours. Solution-focused ideas help set short-term goals while existential questions are used when people need to revisit meaning and values.
Kirsty has particular experience with LGBT concerns, family conflict and trauma and abuse. She also works with issues such as sleep and eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. These areas often overlap in a person’s life, and she pays attention to those links.
Sessions are delivered in English and Kirsty accepts international clients. She uses a conversational, down-to-earth style and aims to help people take steady steps forward. If someone feels unsure about therapy, she focuses on making the first sessions simple and manageable.

How Kirsty’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them feel understood and accepted. This approach is useful for people who need a calm space to talk about parenting stress, identity concerns or grief.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, gives practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and routines. It often includes brief exercises and simple homework to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep or eating struggles.
Solution-focused work concentrates on small, achievable goals. It helps people spot what is already working and build on those steps. That can be especially helpful when someone needs quick ways to manage day-to-day parenting demands.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, and then shape sessions around those factors. This collaborative process helps decide whether listening, practical techniques or goal-focused checks are best at any stage.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and structured exercises. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and situations.
