About Kirsty
Kirsty Woodier is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years' experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, family problems, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, career questions, coping with life changes, coaching queries, and ADHD concerns. Life purpose is listed among her focus areas.
Kirsty practises mainly from a person-centred viewpoint. She listens without judgement and helps people find their own answers. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques when they suit a person's aims. Sessions are conversational and practical, with attention to what the client wants to change.
She holds a Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Psychology and a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. Kirsty is a BACP member and takes part in regular supervision and continuing professional development. This underpins her work and keeps her approach current.
In a typical meeting she helps people name the problem, try out different ways of thinking or behaving, and set small steps to test what feels useful. For example, she may work on managing anxious thinking, improving communication, or handling grief in manageable pieces.
Kirsty aims to work at a pace people can manage. She encourages realistic goals and practical coping strategies. For anyone unsure what comes next after a life change, she offers direct, down-to-earth support to clarify priorities and next steps.
How her clinical approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving a person space to talk and be heard without judgement. Online sessions using this approach centre on the client's priorities and what they want to explore, which can help with feelings of emptiness, low self-esteem and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. Online CBT-style work often uses short exercises, practical tasks and thought records to tackle anxiety, low mood, OCD symptoms and coping with change. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try out ways of working, and adjust methods based on what helps. This is done collaboratively so sessions match the client's needs and preferences. Confirm the session formats available before booking as they are not stated here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work and family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. They also allow for quieter, shorter catch-ups that do not require being on camera for the whole time. Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer these practical options to help therapy fit into everyday life.Areas of expertise
