About Kirsty
Kirsty Woodier helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, grief and self-esteem concerns. She also supports people facing addictions, parenting pressures, family problems, trauma and abuse, and challenges like anger, career setbacks and life changes. Kirsty names ADHD and obsessive-compulsive symptoms among the issues she addresses.
Kirsty uses a humanistic, person-centred style at the heart of her work. That means she aims to listen without judgement and follow what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
She offers empathy and practical support while people talk things through and set goals for change. Alongside a person-centred way of working, Kirsty draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. She blends these perspectives to match the approach to the issue being discussed and the preferences of the person attending.
Kirsty has a Bachelor of Science with honours degree in Psychology and a level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. People can expect regular supervision and continuing professional development as part of her practice.
Sessions focus on what the person brings each week and on building strengths to manage problems between meetings. Kirsty aims to empower people to take practical steps towards change while offering steady empathetic support.

How Kirsty works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit those aims. Decisions about methods and homework are made collaboratively so the plan suits the individual.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, such as by removing travel time or allowing appointments around work or study. It can also offer shorter check-ins when that is helpful, or ways to use written exercises and worksheets between meetings. If you need to know which session formats are available, confirm the current options before booking so you can choose what suits you best.
