Counselling with Kirsty

A safe space to be heard,
understood and cared for

Online & in person counselling in Emsworth

Life isn’t always easy. When things are too difficult to handle alone, it can be helpful to talk with someone outside of your situation without fear of judgement. Counselling can give you the opportunity to work through current struggles that are causing you distress, help you make sense of your past, heal deep inner wounds and enable you to live more freely. 

I provide a safe, confidential space to be heard, understood and cared for. My primary aim is to be a source of support, hope and encouragement during your counselling journey.

Hi, I’m Kirsty.

I have worked in mental health for five years, and am able to offer counselling to both adults and young people from age 14. Alongside my counselling work, I spent two years working for Mind, supporting young people who were experiencing mental health crises.

As an integrative counsellor, I have been trained in a whole range of therapeutic approaches, which means I will use different ways of working for your unique and individual needs.

My approaches include Person-Centred Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) , Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Attachment Therapy. I am a registered member of both the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and Association of Christians in Counselling.

Sessions cost £55.

What can I talk about in counselling?

• Anger management

• Anxiety

• Chronic illness and disabilities

• Depression and low moods

• Disordered eating and body image

• Coercive relationships and domestic abuse

• Identity and self-esteem

• Relationship and family difficulties

• Self-harm and thoughts of suicide

• Unhealthy coping mechanisms

Get in touch to start your counselling journey…

You can get in touch by completing the form below or by emailing admin@counsellingwithkirsty.co.uk. 

Once I have received your information, we will arrange a time to have a free twenty minute Zoom call. This is a chance for us to begin to get to know each other, talk about how counselling may be helpful to you and to answer any questions you may have. If you decide to go forward with counselling, we will then choose a time for your future sessions.
