About Kirsty

Kirsty Lee is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, family and parenting concerns. Her listed areas also include trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem and issues connected to blended family life.

Kirsty keeps language simple and practical in sessions. She explains different approaches and avoids jargon. Sessions focus on noticing feelings, learning coping skills, and trying small changes that fit everyday life.

Her practice draws on a mix of methods including cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. Kirsty also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles alongside client-centred ways of working. She aims to use what helps most for each person rather than sticking to a single method.

Kirsty has supported people with abandonment and attachment issues, postnatal depression, self-harm and the effects of sexual assault. She also lists help for fatherhood issues, social anxiety and young adult challenges. These are addressed through practical strategies and straightforward conversations about how to manage day-to-day pressures.

She offers sessions in English and is open to working with people from outside the UK. The sign-up process uses a short questionnaire and a scheduling step to arrange the first meeting. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Kirsty uses evidence-based approaches online

Kirsty commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters most, then take small actions that reflect those values. CBT focuses on identifying thinking and behaviour patterns that increase stress or low mood and testing new ways of responding to improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that suit your situation, and adjust the plan together as you see what works. This is practical problem-solving rather than a fixed programme handed down from the therapist.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and mindfulness practices so they work well during remote sessions and to match a person’s daily routine.
