About Kirstie
Kirstie Beckman is a counsellor with five years' experience who offers a calm, respectful space to talk about what feels hard. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns, grief and trauma. Kirstie holds BACP registration, which appears as BACP.
Kirstie uses an approach shaped around the person in front of her rather than a fixed method. She listens for patterns that link past experiences and present problems, and she helps people make sense of how old coping habits affect current life.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on increasing self-understanding and practical emotional regulation. That can mean noticing triggers, trying different ways to respond, and building clearer boundaries in relationships. Work is paced to suit the client, with attention to self-compassion as things feel difficult.
She also supports people with concerns around body image, eating and intimacy-related issues, and the stresses of parenting and caregiving. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment wounds, codependency and communication problems that cause repeated conflict. Kirstie offers short-term focused work and longer-term therapy depending on what someone wants.
Conversations can include practical exercises, thought-challenging, and reflection about patterns in relationships so clients can move toward clearer values and steadier day-to-day coping.

How Kirstie’s approaches work online
Kirstie blends a client-centred stance with cognitive behavioural ideas to help people work through emotional pain and practical problems. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping someone feel understood so they can find their own solutions; it suits people who need space to explore feelings and identity. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses simple exercises to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Kirstie will talk with a person about their goals and preferences and adapt the mix of listening, reflection and practical exercises accordingly. Together they decide whether sessions will focus on short-term coping, changing specific thoughts and behaviours, or exploring deeper relationship patterns.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes therapy flexible and easier to fit into busy lives. Video is helpful for a full conversational session, phone calls suit people who prefer not to be on camera, and chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when someone needs a shorter way to connect. These options help people access support across the UK without travel and allow sessions to match energy levels and daily routines.
