Individual Therapy

A space that's yours: to be honest, to be heard, and to begin moving forward.

Sometimes we carry things for so long that they begin to feel normal. Anxiety, burnout, relationship difficulties, struggles with neurodiversity or feeling disconnected from yourself or your life can leave you feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure where to turn.

Therapy provides a confidential space to understand what's happening, process difficult experiences, and find a way forward. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor therapy to your individual needs, helping you develop insight, resilience, and practical strategies for lasting change.

Who I Help

I work with adults experiencing a wide range of emotional, personal, and professional challenges. Whether you're facing a specific difficulty or simply feel that something isn't quite right, therapy can provide the space to understand what's happening and find a way forward.

I regularly support people with:

  • Anxiety, stress, and chronic worry

  • Burnout, overwhelm, and emotional exhaustion

  • Low self-esteem, confidence, and self-criticism

  • Life transitions, identity, and finding direction

  • Work-related stress, perfectionism, and career challenges

  • Relationship and interpersonal difficulties

  • Adult ADHD and neurodiversity, including adjustment following diagnosis

I also have specialist experience working with:

  • Business leaders, entrepreneurs, and those navigating high levels of responsibility

  • Entertainers, performers, and creatives

  • Professional athletes and high-performing individuals

  • Public figures and those living in the public eye

How I work:

I believe therapy is about more than reducing symptoms. It's about understanding how your experiences have shaped the way you think, feel, relate to others, and respond to the world around you. Together, we'll make sense of your story, develop insight into the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My work is integrative and tailored to you as an individual. Depending on your needs, I draw on evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed therapy, and mind-body approaches that recognise the important connection between psychological wellbeing and the nervous system.

Where appropriate, we'll process difficult experiences and unresolved trauma, while also developing practical ways to move forward. As therapy progresses, the focus shifts from simply surviving to living more fully -reconnecting with your values, your relationships, your body, and the parts of life that bring meaning, purpose, and joy. Therapy isn't just about moving away from distress; it's about creating a life that feels authentically yours.

    —Grace

  • “Kirstie is an amazing therapist. She's really competent, warm and kind and made me feel comfortable from the very beginning when exploring really painful memories and thoughts about myself. I thought it would take me years of therapy to start to feel better, but after a few months of working with Kirstie I feel that I've already made a lot of progress.”

    —Gemma

  • “Kirstie gave me the tools to understand my emotions and thoughts and she helped me become confident enough to share them with the people who love me. I feel more able to be kind to myself and accept myself for who I am now.”

    —Jo

  • “Kirstie is completely professional while being kind and warm. She knows exactly when to listen and when to ask a question or prompt further reflection. I felt able to be completely honest with her and not feel judged, at a time when my self-judgement was at its absolute peak.”
