Humanistic counsellor supporting identity and change

Kirstine Hunter offers sessions primarily on Mondays and Wednesdays and practises as a humanistic counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She has 7 years of experience, working privately alongside voluntary roles in counselling services, including three years in a bereavement setting and involvement with an LGBT+ organisation.
She is interested in how people are unique and how those differences shape experience. Kirstine provides accepting, warm support to help clients explore different aspects of themselves, and she believes that speaking openly in a non-judgemental space can increase awareness of how someone relates to the world, to others and to themselves.
Her practice includes work with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, identity concerns and loss, and she collaborates with clients to find ways of feeling less overwhelmed. As a humanistic counsellor, she adapts her approach to fit the individual needs and preferences of each person she sees.
Kirstine has a background in the health sector, specifically in a cancer setting, which informs her understanding of how physical health can affect mental wellbeing. She is also passionate about offering mental health support to people experiencing menopausal or other hormonal changes. Kirstine is a female therapist who is gay, older, non-religious and liberal, and she practises from the United Kingdom.
Many people ask whether online therapy can make a real difference. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main advantages is flexibility. Clients can choose the way of meeting that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and it is possible to switch therapists at any time if a different fit is preferred. For many people, online therapy offers a practical and effective option for accessing support.
