About Kirsty
Kirsty Bees is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes, and also addresses topics like abandonment, body image, communication problems and guilt and shame.
Kirsty uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings and the behaviours that keep problems going. She helps people identify practical steps and small changes they can try between meetings.
In conversations she focuses on clear strategies for managing anxiety and low mood. She encourages people to notice patterns and to test new ways of responding. That might mean short exercises in session or setting doable tasks to practise afterwards.
Kirsty also supports people who are dealing with loss or loneliness. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current feelings, particularly around shame or guilt, and works through those themes at a pace the person can manage.
People looking for therapy with Kirsty follow a simple sign-up and matching process to arrange an initial meeting. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward, with attention to the person's goals and day-to-day life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Kirsty works with evidence-based techniques that focus on thoughts and behaviour. Cognitive behavioural work involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing alternative responses through short exercises and practical tasks. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and social worries because it breaks big problems into manageable steps.She also practises integrative methods, combining different tools to fit what someone needs in the moment. That might include exploring feelings linked to shame or guilt alongside skills to manage stress and improve daily functioning. The emphasis is on clear techniques and small experiments rather than abstract theory.
Choosing the right way of working is collaborative. Kirsty will discuss which techniques suit the person's goals, current situation and preferences and will adapt the plan as work progresses. That conversation is part of the early meetings rather than a fixed decision made at the start.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow quieter or shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people keep momentum between sessions.
