About Kirsty

Kirsty Lee is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief, and supports those dealing with family and parenting challenges. Kirsty also helps with issues around self-esteem and trauma and abuse.

She uses a blend of practical approaches to suit each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness techniques are tools she draws on to help people notice thoughts, try different behaviours and build useful coping skills.

Background and approach

The work aims to be straightforward and focused on what matters to each person. Sessions are collaborative. Kirsty listens to what is most important, then suggests simple steps to try between meetings.

She encourages skills practice for managing mood, reducing anxiety and handling difficult family interactions. Kirsty has experience supporting people with specific concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, blended family difficulties, fatherhood questions, postpartum depression and self-harm. She also works with people affected by sexual assault and abuse, social anxiety, and young adult issues.

Her approach emphasises clear language and realistic goals. People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through problems, learn coping strategies and build on strengths. International clients can be seen in English.

How Kirsty works online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and problems that come from avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognising patterns of thought and behaviour and trying practical experiments to change them, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises to reduce stress and increase calm in daily life. Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods best fit their goals and preferences. That might mean using ACT language one week and a CBT exercise the next, depending on what the person needs and what they find helpful. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow quicker scheduling around work or childcare, and make short check-ins possible when that suits someone better. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals provide online counselling and will discuss practical arrangements so sessions can be planned around everyday commitments.
