Hi, I'm Kirsty, an integrative Counsellor - here to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered. I am credentialed in the United Kingdom with 3 years of professional work experience. Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or struggling to navigate a life challenge? You don't have to go through it alone. I'm here to walk alongside you at your pace, offering a non-judgemental, compassionate space for healing and growth. As an integrative counsellor, I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs, drawing from a variety of approaches including person centred therapy, CBT, mindfulness, and psychodynamic insights. This allows us to explore your concerns in a way that truly fits you - not a one-size fits all model. With 3 years counselling experience and over 200+ clinical hours, I've supported clients facing: Anxiety and stress, Grief and loss, Parenting challenges, Chronic illness or disability (including carers support), Low self-esteem, Trauma and past abuse and Life transitions. I also have lived experience as a carer, which deepens my empathy, patience, and understanding - especially when working with those balancing caregiving and their own mental wellbeing. I believe that everyone has the capacity for change, and that you are the expert in your own life. My role is to help you reconnect with your inner strength, make sense of difficult emotions, and move toward the life you want. Sessions with me are : Collaborative and supportive, Respectful of your pace and values, Flexible in approach, structured when needed. If you're ready to talk, I'm here to listen. Let's take that first step-together.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
