About Me
Hi, my name is Kirsty and I am a BACP registered therapist. I offer online counselling sessions to individuals aged 18+ across the UK, Ireland and Europe. Sessions can also be via telephone for those not comfortable with screens.​
​
I offer a confidential, non-judgmental space where you can explore what is going on for you, and where you will be met with empathy and respect.
​
​I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and body and fat positive.

I’m probably not what you think of when the word ‘therapist’ comes to mind. Although I am fond of a beige jumper (they go with everything!), I am very much myself in the therapy room with you, not just a blank slate. I swear, I laugh (with you!), I talk like a normal person.
​
Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy a good book, chocolate, any animal in my view and I am a die-hard swiftie!
​
A Therapist Specialising in Chronic Illness
I specialise in working with people living with chronic illnesses, chronic pain or other chronic conditions. I have lived experience of living with chronic pain and understand the effects of how living with a chronic condition can affect day to day living.
​
My personal and professional experience enables me to support people living with conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / ME, FND, Endometriosis, Cystic Fibrosis, Lyme Disease amongst many others.
​
I can help you to navigate the changes in your life due to chronic illness – whether it is grieving your old life, exploring relationship difficulties, your experiences in work, in healthcare settings or just trying to find a sense of place in the world.
