Kirsty Peart, BACP

Kirsty Peart is a UK-based therapist with five years of professional experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, LGBTQ+ related concerns, family conflict, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates adherence to professional standards of practice in the United Kingdom.

Kirsty works to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings at their own pace. She encourages clients to name what matters to them and to take the steps they feel ready for, recognising that beginning therapy often requires courage. Kirsty aims to meet each person where they are and to collaborate on practical, compassionate pathways toward clearer coping and improved wellbeing.

Her approach focuses on listening carefully and tailoring support to individual needs, helping clients address immediate concerns while building skills and insight for longer term change. Kirsty welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and is available for international clients through online and remote session options.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Support

Kirsty draws on client-centered therapy to place the relationship and the client's experience at the heart of the work - this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting people to find their own answers, which can be helpful for issues like relationship difficulties, grief, and self-esteem concerns.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT, a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop alternative coping strategies for problems such as anxiety, stress, and low mood. Additionally, solution-focused techniques are employed to set clear, achievable goals and to build on existing strengths when clients want targeted, outcome-oriented support.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Kirsty works collaboratively with each client to identify what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they can adapt methods over time to match changing priorities.

Online therapy with Kirsty is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and life circumstances. These options make it easier for people to access licensed professionals from their home or while traveling, and to continue work between sessions when that is helpful.
