About Kirsty
Kirsty Palmer is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She uses a gentle, person-centred way of working and aims to make the first contact as straightforward as possible. Kirsty keeps sessions focused on what matters to each person.
She listens without judging and helps people name feelings and patterns that get in the way. Conversations are paced to suit the individual and practical steps are agreed together. Her background includes six years of clinical experience and registration with the NCPS.
Background and approach
That combination gives a mix of lived practice and professional oversight when planning sessions. Kirsty works with common struggles such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, relationship concerns and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Other focus areas listed include ADHD, bipolar, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue. She draws on several approaches to shape each meeting. Client-Centred Therapy helps keep the conversation led by the person; Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationships affect current feelings; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers straightforward tools to change unhelpful thoughts.
Her style is calm and practical. Sessions aim to leave people with clearer ways to cope between meetings and a simple plan for what to try next.

Online support
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's priorities first and relies on active listening and reflective conversation. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of difficult emotions and decide their next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can adapt over time as new issues come up or priorities shift.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and seeing non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing things out or want flexible, ongoing contact between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
