About Kirsty
Kirsty Peart is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and a range of other concerns including parenting and LGBT issues. Kirsty works with adults who want a straightforward place to talk things through and make practical changes.
In sessions she keeps the focus on what a person wants to address next. She listens to what matters and helps clarify priorities. Sessions can include looking at thoughts and behaviours, trying small experiments between meetings, and finding clearer ways to communicate at home.
Kirsty draws on Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural approaches alongside Solution-Focused and Existential ideas. That mix means some sessions are conversational and exploratory, while others use specific steps to change unhelpful patterns. She explains methods plainly and checks what is useful for each person.
Her work covers many everyday strains such as sleep and eating concerns, parenting pressures, relationship tension, grief, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with addiction-related problems, anger, low self-esteem and neurodiverse challenges like ADHD.
People who prefer clear guidance and practical tools alongside open conversation tend to find this style helpful. To begin, Kirsty asks a few questions to match priorities, then you can schedule a first session and decide what to work on together.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and meeting what the person brings to the session. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said, and helps people clarify their own priorities and feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, sleep, eating and parenting stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk through goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. That means sessions can be conversational one week and more task-focused the next, depending on what helps.
The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into their day, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals tailor scheduling and session length to match everyday life and responsibilities.
