Kirsty Peart
Compassionate counsellor focused on steady progress
About Kirsty
Kirsty Peart is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She has five years of experience supporting people who are dealing with difficult life events. She aims to make first contact feel manageable and straightforward for someone worried about taking that step.
Kirsty offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what matters to them. She listens closely and helps people make sense of strong feelings. Conversations are practical and grounded rather than full of jargon.
Background and approach
Her background includes supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma and abuse. She also works with concerns related to relationships, grief, addiction and issues connected to LGBT identity. Kirsty brings experience helping with sleeping and eating difficulties, parenting strain, anger and self-esteem problems.
She uses approaches that focus on the person and on tangible change. That can look like working together to reframe unhelpful thoughts, find small steps that shift daily routines, or reflect on values and meaning. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and steady progress.
Kirsty also supports people coping with ADHD, bipolar issues, chronic health challenges and compassion fatigue. She will work with somebody to agree a pace and structure that suits them, whether they want short-term practical work or a longer exploration of recurring patterns.
To begin, Kirsty asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire so sessions can be arranged in line with therapist availability.

How Kirsty’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so clients feel heard and can explore what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It is useful for stress, sleep and worry related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kirsty will discuss options with each client and agree a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process - approaches can be mixed and adjusted over time as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging brings practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when convenient. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging can fit around busy days and make it easier to keep momentum between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals offer these formats so people can choose what best fits their life.
