About me
My name is Kirti, and I'm a person-centred therapist offering a warm, compassionate space where you can be heard without judgement.
Reaching out for support isn't always easy, and choosing to look into therapy is already a meaningful step. Whatever's brought you here — whether things feel unclear, overwhelming, or simply not quite right — you don't need to have the full picture before we begin.
My approach is primarily person-centred, with elements of an integrative approach where it's helpful. That means the direction of our work is shaped by you, not by a fixed programme. I won't be diagnosing or directing — instead, I'll be alongside you as you make sense of your own experience, at your own pace.
What I offer is a relationship built on trust: a space where you can be honest about what you're carrying, without needing to soften or explain it. Together we can look at the patterns, relationships, and experiences that are affecting how you're feeling.
If you're dealing with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, life transitions, loss, or a sense of feeling stuck, counselling offers room to slow down and reconnect with yourself.

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.

Further information
Deciding to start counselling can feel like a big step, and it's important that you feel comfortable with the person you're working with. That's why I offer a free 20-minute introductory call before we begin any sessions.
This call gives us both the chance to talk through what's brought you to counselling and what you're hoping to get out of it. It's also an opportunity for you to ask any questions about how I work, and to get a sense of whether I feel like the right fit for you. There's no pressure or obligation to continue — sometimes it simply helps to have that initial conversation before deciding on next steps.
If you'd like to arrange your free call, please get in touch and I'll be happy to find a time that works for you.
