Hi, I’m Kirsty.

Life can feel overwhelming, and it’s not always easy to face challenges on your own. Whether you’re struggling with current difficulties, feeling stuck, or trying to heal from a painful past, counselling can provide the support you need. It provides a safe space to explore your emotions, make sense of your experiences, and work toward living a freer, more fulfilling life.

I offer a calm, confidential space where you can express your thoughts and feelings openly, without fear of judgment. My priority is to ensure you feel comfortable and safe as we explore both past wounds and current difficulties, working together to heal and discover practical tools for building a more fulfilling future.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a variety of therapeutic approaches to tailor our work to your unique needs. Some of the approaches I use include:

  • Person-Centred Counselling

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Attachment Therapy

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the Association of Christians in Counselling (ACC), and am committed to maintaining the highest professional and ethical standards.

Alongside counselling, I spent several years working with Mind's crisis support service, supporting young people struggling with self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and other mental health difficulties.

I offer counselling both online via Zoom and in the centre of Emsworth (31b North Street, Emsworth, PO10 7DA). Sessions are £55.

My Qualifications

• BA (Hons) in Counselling

• Diploma of Higher Education in Counselling

• Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling

• Certificate in Working with Children, Young People and Families

What can I talk about in counselling?

People seek counselling for a variety of reasons. You may be looking for emotional support through a challenging time, or there may be a specific issue you need help with. I have had the privilege of working with people of various ages, genders, cultural contexts, and religious beliefs, each bringing their own unique story.

Some of the areas I work with include:

Anxiety

Chronic illness and disabilities

Coercive and narcissistic relationships

Depression and low moods

Disordered eating and poor body image

Identity and low self-esteem

Relationship and family difficulties

Self-harm and suicidal thoughts

Spirituality and religious difficulties

Trauma and unresolved past issues

Unhealthy coping mechanisms

Work-related stress and challenges
