Hi and thank you for visiting my profile. I'm Kirsty, an accredited CBT therapist and counsellor for young people, adults & couples. Finding the right therapist can be stressful. It takes courage to reach out for support and take that first step. Therapy works best when there is a strong therapeutic alliance and trust in both the process & the person. That is what I aim to provide when you choose to share your story. Everyone needs something different & working as an integrative therapist means I can use the best techniques from a range of therapy models. We will work together to explore what you need to support you and your goals.
I have not always been a therapist. I am a former police officer, teacher & CEO which means I have experienced many different issues along the way. I have an MSc in Psychology and accredited in CBT I also have a diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling. I specialise in anxiety (GAD, social, phobias, OCD, panic) and relationships for individuals and couples.
No issue is too small and I believe preventing mental health becoming worse is just as important as treating it. You will find me to be an empathetic, solution focussed therapist that cares about listening to your problems and supporting you to get where you want to be. I work with adults, couples and adolescents 16+ so please reach out - I'm here to help.

In the first session we will talk about what you are hoping to get from therapy. We will work together to explore which therapy model is best suited to you. In CBT we address how your thoughts and emotions can affect your behaviour and techniques to change negative cycles. In counselling, we look at what is causing the problems, any triggers, their affect on you and explore possible solutions.
