About Kirsty

Kirsty Lee is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, and also supports people facing depression, grief and self-esteem difficulties. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

Kirsty uses a mix of therapeutic ways of working drawn from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness approaches. She aims to make therapy straightforward and jargon-free. That means explaining methods plainly and agreeing on practical steps together.

In sessions she helps people understand their emotions and develop coping skills. Conversations often include noticing thoughts and behaviours, practising simple mindfulness, and trying small changes between sessions. The work is collaborative - the person and Kirsty decide what to try and review what helps.

Kirsty has particular experience with family problems including blended family and fatherhood issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and parenting-related strain. She also supports people with mood disorders, postpartum depression, self-harm, sexual assault and abuse, social anxiety, and young adult issues.

Her style is direct and steady. Practical tools from CBT and ACT sit alongside reflective, client-centred listening. Prospective clients are encouraged to check current session options and to use the site matching steps to arrange an initial appointment.

Using ACT, CBT and client-centred work in remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps when worry or avoidance gets in the way of daily life by focusing on small, meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and introduces practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to help clarify what matters.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that look most relevant, and review them together. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits a person’s goals and preferences rather than applying a single method from the start.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to work from a familiar place or to avoid camera sessions; practical adjustments like audio-only check-ins or focused 20-minute reviews are often possible depending on the agreed format. Registered or accredited professionals can use these flexible arrangements to keep therapy workable alongside everyday responsibilities.
