About Kirsty

Kirsty Waite is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who creates a compassionate, non-judgemental space for people navigating stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma, and life transitions. She holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings three years of professional experience along with over 600 clinical hours to her therapeutic work.

Kirsty adapts her approach to each person, blending person-centred listening with cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic insights so therapy is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. She has supported people facing anxiety and stress, grief and loss, parenting challenges, chronic illness or disability including carers support, low self-esteem, past abuse, and the practical and emotional shifts that come with life changes.

Her lived experience as a carer informs a patient, empathetic style when working with those balancing caregiving and their own wellbeing. Sessions are collaborative and supportive, respectful of individual pace and values, and flexible in method while structured when needed. Kirsty aims to help people reconnect with inner strengths, make sense of difficult emotions, and move toward the life they want. When someone is ready to begin, she offers steady support for that first step.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic environment where the client is treated as the expert in their own life. It helps people build self-awareness, confidence, and a clearer sense of personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-oriented approach that identifies unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and works to develop more effective ways of coping with anxiety, low mood, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses, supporting people to understand attachment issues and improve connection and trust.



Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kirsty works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as the work unfolds.



Online therapy with Kirsty is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, fit sessions into busy lives, and continue work through transitions or times when in-person appointments are difficult to arrange.
