Kirstie Beckman, BACP

Kirstie Beckman is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers a warm, non-judgemental space where adults can look at what feels hard and begin to make small, practical changes. Conversations move at the client's pace and focus on what matters now.

Kirstie works relationally and adapts her way of working to each person rather than using one fixed method. She pays attention to how earlier experiences and unmet needs can still shape current relationships and everyday reactions. Sessions aim to boost self-understanding and the ability to manage difficult feelings.

Practical tools from cognitive behavioural ideas are paired with a client-centred stance that prioritises the person's priorities. This combination helps when anxiety, low mood, or persistent patterns feel overwhelming. The goal is to help people reconnect with their values and make choices that feel more authentic.

Kirstie has five years of experience supporting people with stress, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem struggles, and coping with life changes. She also works with issues such as trauma, eating and body image concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue. She describes therapy as collaborative and paced to the individual's needs.

Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. Before starting, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Kirstie’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting, accepting relationship in which the client leads the conversation. This approach helps people clarify what matters to them and feel heard when they are navigating life changes or relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises and simple steps to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small changes. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, stress and problems that benefit from structured strategies and skill practice.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to agree which methods suit their goals, current needs and personal preferences. That choice can change over time as priorities shift.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which session formats are available before booking. Many people value online options because they can be easier to fit around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Other practical benefits include being able to continue therapy through life transitions and fitting sessions into everyday routines.
