About Kirsty
Kirsty Lee is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She helps people facing stress and anxiety, parenting challenges, family conflict and mood problems. Kirsty also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and issues around self-harm.
She keeps therapy straightforward and uses a blend of approaches to suit each person. Sessions focus on practical skills to manage difficult feelings and steps to improve day-to-day coping.
How Kirsty works
Conversations are warm and down-to-earth, helping people make clear, manageable changes. Kirsty often draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to look at thinking patterns and build new habits. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small, values-based steps.
Mindfulness techniques are introduced to support stress reduction and better emotional awareness. Her background includes supporting people with postpartum depression, attachment and abandonment worries, blended family and fatherhood issues, and social anxiety. That experience informs how she tailors sessions to the situation each person brings.
Kirsty works in plain language and encourages clients to set realistic goals. She invites people to take the therapy process at their own pace while learning tools they can use after sessions end. If a simple, practical approach appeals, she offers a calm and steady way to explore next steps.

Online support options
How her approaches work online and in sessions
Kirsty commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps even when feelings are hard. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation by shifting focus toward meaningful action.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT offers concrete tools for managing panic, social anxiety, mood swings and persistent negative thoughts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kirsty will discuss options with each person and pick techniques that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and messages or live chat make it easier to fit short check-ins around work or caring duties. These formats make therapy more flexible and help people access support from wherever they are able to join.
