About your therapist
I am a counsellor, psychotherapist in training, and occupational therapist. With nearly three decades of experience in counselling across Britain and New Zealand, including volunteer work for Youthline and a Rainbow helpline, I bring a wealth of understanding and empathy to my practice. Having trained in Focusing, a relational practice that emphasises attentive listening, I offer skills of presence and compassion.
My approach to therapy
My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and a deep commitment to understanding your unique experience. I integrate principles from my varied experience and skill set to help you navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, relationship difficulties, and stress. Together, we will explore your inner world to foster growth and resilience.
Therapy services
I offer support to adults facing various life challenges. Whether you are experiencing low mood, worry, anxiety, loneliness, navigating relationship difficulties, dealing with physical health issues, or are a health professional facing stress or burnout, feel free to contact me. If you are navigating grief or loss, exploring your identity, including coming out, or dealing with life challenges that feel overwhelming, together, we can find a way through.
Kirsty is friendly and supportive. She listens and cares.
A grateful client
