About Kirsty
Kirsty Nash is a counsellor registered with the BACP and NCPS and has ten years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She supports people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. Her practice also includes work around relationships, career challenges and feelings of guilt and shame.
She describes clients as the experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are practical and conversational. Kirsty listens to what matters most and helps people find steps that fit their everyday life.
Kirsty draws on a mix of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She uses these tools to help with unhelpful thoughts, difficult memories and painful self-judgement. Work may include noticing thought patterns, trying small behavioural experiments, and exploring how attachments affect current relationships.
People bring a wide range of experiences, from recent losses to longer-term feelings of shame or low self-worth. Kirsty also has experience with issues linked to autism, domestic violence, sexual assault and young adult concerns. She aims for clear, steady conversations rather than fast fixes.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session through the online options button.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting entangled in them, and on choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help when guilt or shame leads to avoidance and a sense of being stuck.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs. This approach can be useful for reducing rumination and correcting harsh self-judgement.
Attachment-Based Therapy considers how early relationship patterns shape current responses. It can help people understand why certain situations trigger intense shame or distress and how to form steadier emotional responses.
Choosing an approach is part of the therapeutic work. Kirsty will talk with the client about goals, preferences and how different methods might help. The decision about which techniques to use is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify exact delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a working day, reduce travel time and allow for brief check-ins when needed. Many people find that remote meetings help maintain consistency while they juggle other responsibilities.
