Her background includes work with issues linked to relationships and family pressures, career concerns, and young adult challenges. She also pays attention to attachment issues and the effects of domestic violence, sexual assault, guilt and shame, and self-harm when they arise.

Kirsty uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centred practice. She explains approaches simply and tailors sessions to what each person finds most helpful.

People who choose her often want straightforward support, practical coping strategies and a calm space to talk things through. She welcomes international clients and works in English.

How Kirsty uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and commit to small actions that move them towards a life they value. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck by focusing on what matters rather than getting trapped by thoughts.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It introduces practical tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and to test out new ways of coping with stress and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kirsty will talk with each person about their needs, goals and what feels helpful. Together they will choose or blend approaches so sessions remain relevant and achievable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written conversation or want flexibility across the day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life while still using established therapeutic tools.
