About Kirsty

Kirsty Waite is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people feel heard and supported. She holds BACP registration and has three years of clinical experience, with over 600 hours of client work. Kirsty offers a calm, non-judgemental approach and meets people at their own pace.

She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, alongside trauma and abuse concerns. Kirsty also helps people coping with life changes, sleep difficulties, career stress and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Additional areas include attachment and abandonment worries, chronic illness and caregiver strain. Her style is collaborative and person-centred. Sessions are respectful of individual values and move at a pace the client finds manageable.

She blends different ways of working so each plan matches the person rather than a single model. Kirsty draws on cognitive behavioural tools to spot patterns that keep problems going. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, doable steps.

Attachment-informed thinking helps when relationships and past bonds affect present life. Clients who have caregiving responsibilities may find her lived experience as a carer particularly understanding. People can expect practical conversations, gentle reflection and clear, simple strategies to try between sessions.

The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Many of her sessions draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people identify their values and take small, manageable steps toward them while learning to live with difficult feelings. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions.

She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That work helps when past bonds, abandonment or trust issues affect present relationships and feelings of security.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit your needs and adapt the plan as progress is made. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques feel helpful and practical.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial expressions and body language for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits your day. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter, written exchanges that can be easier to fit around caregiving or shift work. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives while trying different ways of working.
