Kirsten Lawrence
Gentle, practical support for stress and life change
About Kirsten
Kirsten Lawrence is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or major life changes. She works with individuals who want a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through and find practical ways forward. Kirsten uses listening, reflection and gentle guidance to help people spot strengths and make clearer choices.
She draws on eight years of practice and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Background and approach
That background helps her tailor sessions to each person rather than follow one fixed method. Sessions are conversational and focused on what the client needs right now, whether that is exploring past hurts or building new coping habits. Kirsten uses client-centred ideas to put the person’s experiences at the heart of the work.
She also brings mindfulness techniques to help with anxiety, stress and painful memories. Together these approaches are used to develop self-awareness, steady emotions and practical steps for day-to-day life. Common issues she supports include trauma and abuse, parenting strain, relationship and family difficulties, mood disorders and burnout.
She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, panic attacks, career uncertainty, money worries and feelings of emptiness. Kirsten adapts to different communication styles and needs. People can expect a warm, steady presence, focused questioning and collaborative goal-setting.
Her aim is to help clients increase resilience, regain a sense of direction and feel more able to cope with whatever they are facing.

Approach, mindfulness and online support
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience first. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what they hear and helps clients find their own answers. This approach suits people who need understanding, space to process feelings and help building confidence in decision-making.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and calm the nervous system. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, stress and for grounding after upsetting memories. These skills are practised in short exercises and then adapted to everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kirsten will discuss options and try different ways of working until a helpful fit is found. That choice is collaborative and based on the client’s needs, goals and how they prefer to communicate.
Online sessions make this flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues; phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on the go; live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats let people fit counselling around work, family or travel and make it simpler to keep continuity of care across locations.
