Kirsty Lee
Warm practical counsellor for life stressors
About Kirsty
Kirsty Lee is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and issues around self-esteem. Kirsty also helps those affected by trauma, grief and the lasting impact of abuse.
She supports people who are navigating family or parenting strains, including blended family questions and fatherhood concerns. Other areas she focuses on include postpartum depression, self-harm, social anxiety and young adult issues.
Background and approach
Kirsty lists abandonment and attachment difficulties among her concern areas as well. Kirsty uses a blend of approaches so sessions are practical and personal. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred ways of working and mindfulness techniques.
This mix helps shape actions, thoughts and everyday habits rather than relying on jargon. In sessions she aims to make things clear and straightforward. Conversations are guided by what matters most to the person in front of her and what they want to achieve.
Practical coping tools and simple exercises are offered when they fit the individual situation. Kirsty describes counselling as a process of discovering strengths and building skills. She helps people name their priorities, practise new responses and plan small steps forward.
That practical focus is aimed at making day-to-day life more manageable while supporting longer term change.

Sessions & fees
How her approaches work online and in sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and situations where avoidance has become a pattern. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often suits stress, mood difficulties and social anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kirsty will discuss different methods and test what fits best for each person. She works together with clients to shape the mix of techniques around their goals and preferences so the plan feels manageable and realistic.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging which makes therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, and chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options allow flexibility for different routines, schedules and communication styles.
