About Kirsty

Kirsty Nash is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS with 10 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and difficulties with motivation and confidence. Kirsty works with adults who want clear, practical ways to manage symptoms and day-to-day challenges.

Kirsty uses straightforward conversation and evidence-informed methods to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on simple steps clients can try between meetings. She encourages people to draw on their existing strengths while learning new ways to respond to problems.

Her work mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when helpful. She also uses attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening to understand current relationship patterns. The goal is to teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions and rebuilding routines.

Kirsty pays attention to issues that often sit behind symptoms, such as attachment difficulties, guilt and shame, or experiences of domestic and sexual violence. She also supports people navigating neurodiversity topics, including autism and Asperger syndrome, and concerns common to young adults and women.

People can expect clear explanations, practical homework, and regular review of progress. The emphasis is on what to do next, not on long theory talks. To begin, readers should confirm session formats and sign-up details before booking.

How these approaches are used in online sessions

Kirsty often works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and everyday habits. CBT sessions tend to include clear goals, short experiments to try between meetings, and step-by-step practice for new skills.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on helping people clarify their values and take action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how past relationship patterns affect current reactions and to build more helpful ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kirsty will discuss which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences and adjust the plan as sessions progress. This is a collaborative process with regular review of what is or is not helping.

Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how meetings are run. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about scheduling, session length and any paperwork when you complete the matching questionnaire.
