Kirstie Beckman
Calm, practical counselling for everyday struggles
About Kirstie
Kirstie Beckman is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what feels hard. Sessions are paced to each person and aimed at helping them feel heard and clearer about next steps.
With five years of clinical experience, Kirstie focuses on common stresses of adult life. She helps people facing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, grief, issues with self-esteem, and emotional overwhelm.
Background and approach
She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, eating and body image problems, and the strain that caregiving can bring. Kirstie uses client-centred ideas alongside cognitive behavioural therapy, adapting sessions to what an individual needs. She pays attention to how past experiences and unmet needs can shape present thoughts and behaviour.
In practice this means exploring patterns, trying new ways of responding, and building small, workable skills. People often come to her for help with communication problems, commitment worries, dissociation, codependency, and blending family challenges. She also supports those facing career stress, anger, and major life changes.
Work can include talking, practical exercises, and reflective tasks to try between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and take place across video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Kirstie works from the United Kingdom and does not accept international clients.
To begin, a short questionnaire helps match people to a schedule that suits them.

How Kirstie’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows the person's lead, offering empathy and acceptance so people can find their own answers. This approach suits those who need space to make sense of feelings and self-worth issues.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. This can help with anxiety, low mood, unhelpful habits and coping during life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kirstie will talk with the person about goals and preferences and then suggest a mix of methods. The choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be good for short check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving, or travel.
