Person-centered and trauma-informed care delivered online

Person-centered therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering a supportive, empathic space where people set their own pace and explore thoughts and feelings. This approach is well suited to concerns like anxiety, low mood, relationship challenges, and making sense of life changes.

A trauma-informed approach recognises the impact of trauma and abuse and focuses on safety, empowerment and pacing. It helps people affected by past or recent trauma to build coping strategies and regain a sense of control over everyday life.

Alongside these methods, Kirsty offers bereavement-focused support informed by her Cruse training, which helps people process loss and find ways to adjust over time. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Kirsty works collaboratively with each person to identify the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text provide flexible access to therapy with licensed professionals. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments, support people who live at a distance, and offer multiple ways to communicate depending on what feels most comfortable for the client.
