Kirsty Peart

Kirsty Peart is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who holds BACP registration and has five years' experience. She offers a calm, non-judgemental approach and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable. Kirsty works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma, and she also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief and identity-related concerns.

She creates space for clients to talk openly about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions are practical and straightforward, with attention to what feels useful right now. Kirsty draws on client-centred ways of working to prioritise the person’s perspective, and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when people want clear tools to manage symptoms.

Kirsty also uses existential ideas to help people find meaning during big life changes. Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want short-term, goal-oriented steps. Together these approaches help people build small, steady changes rather than aiming for a single big fix.

Her experience includes supporting LGBT clients, people affected by trauma and abuse, and those coping with addiction, bipolar difficulties and ADHD-related challenges. She also works with common issues such as sleep and eating concerns, anger, self-esteem and parenting strain.

Kirsty encourages realistic aims and clear next steps. She invites people to take a small first action and then reflect on what helps. That collaborative spirit guides how she plans sessions and tracks progress with each person.

How Kirsty’s approaches guide online work

Kirsty commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy during sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s lead, which helps when someone needs space to process identity, grief or relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and problems with sleep or eating.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Kirsty will discuss goals and preferences, and then try methods that match what the client wants to achieve. She reviews how things are going and adapts the plan if a different way of working would be more helpful.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins around work or family commitments, and it can be simpler to have a brief phone or video check-in when energy is limited.
