About Kirsty

Kirsty Ginger is a counsellor with ten years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and draws on a range of qualifications to guide her work. Kirsty offers a calm, respectful space for people who feel overwhelmed by stress or anxiety.

She helps with relationship difficulties, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, and symptoms of depression. Her style is person centred, which means she listens closely and adapts conversations to each person's needs.

Background and approach

Her training includes a level 5 foundation degree in counselling, an IDVA qualification in domestic abuse work, level 2 mental health training, and Cruse bereavement training. Kirsty is also completing a children and young persons qualification. These courses inform how she plans sessions and responds to different kinds of distress.

Kirsty pays attention to practical communication skills when relationship strain is present. She supports people who want to rebuild trust or manage difficult conversations. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps rather than big theory exercises.

She also works with concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, and the emotional impact of chronic illness or cancer. Kirsty is familiar with neurodiversity matters including autism and Asperger syndrome and addresses related challenges in straightforward terms. People can expect a compassionate, non-judgemental approach that aims to meet their particular goals.

Kirsty encourages clients to set the pace and shape the work, with clear discussion about next steps and practical strategies.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Person centred practice focuses on understanding the person's perspective and building a trusting working relationship. It helps when someone needs to be heard clearly and wants support to make their own decisions about change.

Bereavement-informed work draws on principles from grief counselling and Cruse training to help people process loss at their own pace. This approach offers practical coping strategies and emotional support for navigating difficult anniversaries or ongoing sorrow.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try ways of working that match the individual's needs. This is a collaborative choice and can be adjusted as the work progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let people work face to face when they prefer it, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study, or caregiving commitments while keeping continuity of care with a registered professional.
