About

Hello, and welcome. I am Kirsty, a Neurodivergent affirming counsellor. I am an accredited and credentialed Counsellor in the UK with 3 years of professional work experience. I am accredited with the NCPS and hold a BA (HONS) in Counselling. I am currently undertaking an MSc in Child and Adolescent Mental Health, with an incorporation into Family issues. I strive to further my knowledge in all areas, and as such, regularly engage in Continuous Professional Development.

I have supported individuals in support-based roles for 16 years, and have provided counseling to my clients through charitable organisations, schools, universities, and private practice.

I have experience in helping clients with Neurodiversity, anxiety and Depression, Loss and bereavement, family and couples issues and conflict resolution, Identity, addiction, and more. I am able to work with adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families. I am able to offer online, telephone, and digital text Therapy.

I have both lived and professional experience working with individuals who are Neurodivergent and work Integratively. This means that I am able to utilise therapeutic tools from a number of modalities and tailor the therapeutic approach to meet your specific needs.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, compassion, and empathy. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey and work with you in a way that meets your needs.

Working with you Integratively and Creatively means we will be able to incorporate creative therapy into our sessions if you are happy to, such as art, play therapy, nesting dolls, and more. This may also include CBT techniques, Transactional Analysis, Person Centred Talking Therapy, and many other strategies to support you with whatever you may bring within your Therapeutic journey.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

For many common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes – online therapy has been shown to work as effectively as traditional in-person sessions for most people. It can be a practical and impactful way to address everyday mental health and relational challenges.

One of the key benefits is flexibility. People can choose the format that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging – making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.

All therapists offering online work are licensed professionals, and if someone feels a different fit would be better, it is possible to switch therapists. Online therapy can offer an accessible route to consistent support while still allowing people to find the therapeutic relationship and approach that meet their needs.
