About Kirsty
Kirsty Waite is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a BACP accreditation. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Kirsty offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through anxiety, grief, stress and life changes at their own pace.
Kirsty adapts her approach to each person rather than using one fixed method. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred ideas to match what someone needs in the room.
Background and approach
That mix helps with mood problems, self-esteem, panic and relationship concerns. Her work also addresses issues linked to health and caring roles, such as chronic illness, cancer and caregiver stress. Kirsty has lived experience as a carer, which she says informs her understanding of the extra pressures that can bring.
She also supports people dealing with trauma, abandonment and attachment difficulties. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual. Kirsty uses both structured tools and open conversation depending on what will help most.
Practical strategies are offered alongside space to make sense of difficult feelings. Therapy can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives flexibility around work and daily life. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to therapist availability.

Online support
How different approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and how they shape relationships and personal patterns; it helps people understand and shift emotional responses that keep them stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for living with difficult thoughts while committing to actions that reflect personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current connections and helps people notice and change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to use emotion-focused work, ACT skills, attachment exploration or a blend of these methods to suit the individual's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving options for different situations. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can fit into busy days or serve as brief reflections between sessions. These choices make therapy easier to fit around work, caring duties and daily life.
