About Kirsty
Kirsty Nash works as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and has around ten years of professional experience. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety and low mood. Kirsty encourages people to notice what already helps them and to build on those strengths.
She describes therapy as a place to take small, practical steps towards feeling steadier and more in control. Kirsty uses a mix of approaches to suit each person's needs.
How Kirsty works
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values even when emotions are hard. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practise different ways of responding. Attachment-based ideas help when past relationships continue to affect current ones.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. Conversations tend to focus on what is causing distress now and which steps could make a difference next week. Practical skills may be shown during a session and tried between meetings to build confidence.
Kirsty also works with trauma, abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence and self-harm concerns. She supports people dealing with grief, career issues, relationship strain and major life changes. Young adult issues, women's concerns and autism-related challenges are included in her focus areas.
She holds membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and NCPS. Kirsty offers sessions in English and is open to international clients. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to arrange sessions that suit each person.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and introduces new ways of responding. It often includes simple exercises and homework to practise skills between sessions.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how earlier relationships shape current emotional responses and closeness with others. This can help when past hurt affects trust or relating in present life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences and agree together which approaches to try. Therapy is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy makes regular contact easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options offer flexibility for different routines and practical constraints.
