About Kirsty
Kirsty Peart is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years of professional experience and helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to LGBT issues. Kirsty aims to make the first step easier for people who feel nervous about starting therapy.
Kirsty creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what matters to them.
Background and approach
She listens closely and works at the client’s pace, helping people name and make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions focus on practical next steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems lingering. Her approach draws on client-centred methods that prioritise the person’s own goals.
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Solution-focused ideas are used when people want short-term plans to manage a specific issue. Kirsty has helped people with a wide range of issues beyond anxiety and trauma, including relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, ADHD and coping with life changes.
She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, body image worries and work-related compassion fatigue. People who prefer a collaborative, practical style often find her approach helpful. Kirsty encourages small, achievable steps and reviews progress with clients so therapy feels purposeful and grounded in everyday life.

How Kirsty works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going. It uses straightforward exercises and homework to tackle anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what someone wants to change now and builds small, practical steps to get there. It can be useful for people seeking short-term progress on specific issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that feel like a good fit. That choice is made collaboratively rather than imposed.
Confirm the specific session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can help people fit therapy around daily life by reducing travel time and making shorter check-ins easier to schedule. It also allows for flexible timing when juggling work, caring duties or other commitments.
