Kirsty Lee , BACP

Kirsty Lee is a qualified counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, family conflicts and parenting challenges. She has also worked with depression, low self esteem and self-harm, and offers practical, empathetic support for those navigating difficult emotions and life transitions. Kirsty is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates adherence to professional standards and ongoing development.

Kirsty uses an integrative approach, drawing on a range of therapeutic techniques including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), person-centred therapy and systemic approaches. This means she tailors sessions to each person, selecting methods that suit individual needs and goals rather than relying on a single model. In practice this can involve exploring emotions, building coping skills and developing new ways of relating to oneself and others.

Counselling with Kirsty is framed as a process of self-discovery and empowerment rather than a quick fix. She works collaboratively to help people identify their strengths, develop strategies for managing challenges and foster a more positive mindset that can support change beyond the therapy environment. Kirsty welcomes questions and is available to discuss whether her approach might be a good fit for someone seeking support.

Approaches and online support for everyday challenges

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while helping people commit to actions aligned with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance patterns and situations where people want to build a more meaningful life despite discomfort.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person is treated as the expert on their own experience. This approach supports self-exploration, emotional understanding and greater self-acceptance, which can help with low self esteem and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. It is often applied to stress, mood difficulties and anxiety by teaching practical skills for managing reactions and problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kirsty works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques as understanding grows and priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work with a licensed professional - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access support from different locations and choose a communication style that feels most comfortable.
