About Kirsty
Kirsty Lee is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and parenting challenges, and supports those affected by trauma, grief and self-esteem struggles. Kirsty uses clear language and practical steps to help clients make sense of what they are feeling.
She draws on several evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Client-Centred Therapy and mindfulness.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on identifying helpful skills, noticing unhelpful patterns and trying small behavioural changes between meetings. Kirsty aims for straightforward goals that fit everyday life. Parents and those dealing with family strain can expect support around communication, boundaries and balancing responsibilities.
She also offers help for issues such as attachment concerns, blended family problems, fatherhood issues and postpartum depression. Conversations explore both immediate coping and longer term ways to feel more resilient. Kirsty pays attention to how past experiences like abandonment or sexual assault can affect mood and relationships now.
She includes work on grief, self-harm thoughts and social anxiety when these come up, always matching the pace to the person’s needs. Practical tools and simple mindfulness practices are commonly used. Her style is calm and down-to-earth.
Sessions are collaborative and aim to build on strengths while reducing overwhelm. People who prefer a plain, non-judgemental approach often find this way of working useful.

How Kirsty’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters to them. It uses practical exercises to build willingness to act in line with personal values even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers straightforward techniques to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to calm the mind and reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the process and Kirsty works collaboratively to choose what fits best. She listens to the person's goals and suggests methods that suit their needs and daily life. Over time she will adapt the mix of ACT, CBT or mindfulness according to progress and preference.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing between sessions or need flexibility around work and caring responsibilities. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family life.
