About Kirstie
Kirstie Beckman is a counsellor with five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, and she offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what feels hard. Sessions aim to help clients feel less overwhelmed and more able to make choices that suit them.
Kirstie mainly helps people facing stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, self-esteem struggles, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns.
How Kirstie works
Practical issues such as eating and body image, parenting pressures, career questions, and coping with life changes are within her focus too. Her approach draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy. That means conversations focus on the person's own goals while also looking at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.
The aim is to build clearer understanding and useful ways to cope day to day. Kirstie pays attention to patterns linked to attachment, abandonment and blended family issues. She offers help around communication problems, codependency, control issues, dissociation, and the impact of domestic violence or separation.
Coaching-style support is available for career and life transitions. Sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Conversations happen in English.
Fees vary with location and a subscription model is used, which can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that shape online therapy sessions
Kirstie draws mainly on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy when working online. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, understanding and following the client's pace to help them make sense of their feelings and values. It suits people who need space to explore identity, self-esteem and relationship patterns.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking, try small behavioural changes, and develop practical coping skills for anxiety, low mood and stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kirstie will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide whether to focus more on exploration and emotional support or on structured CBT exercises and skills practice.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a full conversation and seeing non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can offer brief check-ins, written reflection or support between longer sessions. These options aim to make counselling flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving and daily life.
