About me
I’m Kirsty, a BACP-registered integrative counsellor. I offer a calm, supportive space to pause, reflect on what you’re feeling and begin to find some clarity.
You might look like you are coping, while inside you feel anything but.
A mind that rarely switches off, a tendency to second-guess yourself, or becoming so used to putting others first can leave you feeling disconnected from what you need. You may feel anxious, self-critical or exhausted by trying to get things right, while still feeling like you’re not enough. You may struggle with self-doubt or find yourself caught in patterns that leave you unsure how to move forward.
How I work
Together, we can gently explore the patterns that shape how you think, feel and relate to yourself and others. We can take time to understand where these patterns may have come from, how they affect you now, and how they may be influencing the way you see yourself and your relationships.
Perhaps you often put other people's needs before your own, find it difficult to set boundaries, or question whether your feelings and choices are valid. We can make space to understand these experiences without judgement, and consider what you need to feel more confident in yourself and your relationships.
My approach is person-centred, relational and integrative. We will work together at a pace that feels manageable for you, following what feels most important as it emerges. You don’t have to know exactly where to begin. We can start there.
I offer in-person counselling in Wimbledon and Clapham, including walk-and-talk sessions. Online counselling is also available across the UK and abroad.
Get in touch
If something here resonates with you, you’re welcome to get in touch. We can have an initial conversation about what’s been going on for you and whether working together feels like the right fit.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor, registered with the MBACP, offering support to clients both in person and online. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Drama and Psychology, as well as a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. Additionally, I am trained in walk-and-talk therapy, providing flexible approaches to suit your needs
My passion lies in mental health and wellbeing, and I am committed to supporting clients in making meaningful, positive changes in their lives. The experience I gained during my career in a corporate environment helped me understand the importance of mental health and finding balance in life.
I have previously worked with NHS Talking Therapies in Wandsworth and Lambeth, supporting clients experiencing anxiety, bereavement, depression, stress, and work-related difficulties. I worked alongside clients to explore their experiences, build self-understanding, and find ways to move forward.
Through my volunteer work at South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust, I developed a deeper understanding of the role of compassion, empathy, and validation in helping clients feel heard, respected, and understood.
I draw on person-centred, integrative, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioural approaches, tailoring therapy to each individual’s needs. My aim is to create a safe, collaborative space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, build self-understanding, and develop emotional resilience and self-compassion.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Additional information
I offer a free initial consultation, available online or by phone. This informal conversation gives you space to ask questions, talk about what has brought you to therapy, and get a sense of whether my approach feels right for you. Please note that this is not a formal counselling session.
If you decide to continue after this initial conversation, we can discuss a plan for ongoing therapy, including agreeing on a regular session time. Sessions typically take place on a weekly basis, with each counselling session lasting 50 minutes.

Further information
My approach is integrative, drawing on humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioural (CBT) therapies. I blend these approaches in a flexible, relational way, adapting the work to your individual needs and experiences.
I aim to create a gentle, collaborative space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Together, we can look at emotional distress, relational patterns, trauma, and periods of transition, supporting deeper understanding and meaningful change.
At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship. I provide a safe, warm, non-judgmental, and empathic environment where the focus is on you and your unique journey. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported as we work together at a pace that feels right for you.
