Hi, my name is Kirsten, I am an integrative counsellor with four years experience. 

Starting counselling can feel like a daunting task, but it doesn’t need to be, I pride myself on being relaxed, approachable and non-judgemental.

 Finding a counsellor with whom you feel you can be yourself is a vital part of your healing journey, and I endeavour to make you feel comfortable as you explore parts of your history.

 I find my own history allows me to engage with my clients with empathy and understanding, throughout my training and education, I have learnt ways to feel more in control of my thoughts, feelings and actions, which I feel, gives me a great base to becoming an effective counsellor.

 I believe people have the capacity to grow and to flourish by being exactly who they are given the right conditions, which I for me, is a what I aim to provide! I believe the therapy space should feel relaxed and safe! 

I am available for work online, face-to-face and over the telephone.

I have countless hours of experience working with individuals referred through Occupational health, GP, DWP, survive, Cope and Victim support. 

I am trained as an integrative counsellor, bringing person-centred, transactional analysis, phychodynamics, gestalt and attachment theory into my work to allow for more than a "one fits all" solution to each clients. I believe therapy should be as individual as you! 

 I feel it is important that we are able to build a functional working relationship and that starts from the moment we meet. 

We will go through an assessment together where I will ask what brings you to counselling, and get a general gist of how we can work together.
