Kirsty Bees, BACP

Kirsty Bees is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and difficult life changes. She supports those working through grief, low self-esteem, motivation problems and confidence concerns. Kirsty aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and worth the effort.

She uses an integrative approach alongside cognitive behavioural therapy, tailoring sessions to each person’s needs. That means she combines methods to match what a client wants to work on and how they prefer to work. Sessions focus on practical coping strategies, clearer thinking patterns and building small, sustainable changes.

Kirsty has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on that background to guide conversations in straightforward language and with everyday examples.

In practice she helps people tackle issues such as abandonment, body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, life purpose and midlife crisis concerns. She also works with sexuality, self-love, social anxiety and women's issues where relevant to an individual’s goals.

People can expect a collaborative, paced process that balances practical tools with space to talk. Kirsty encourages small steps that build confidence and clearer direction. She invites prospective clients to consider whether her style feels like a good fit before they commit to ongoing sessions.

How Kirsty’s approaches translate to online work

She draws most directly on cognitive behavioural therapy and an integrative approach. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of responding, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and social fears. An integrative way of working means she adapts methods to the person in front of her, blending exercises, conversation and practical tasks to suit individual goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which techniques feel most helpful. That choice is based on the client’s needs, practical goals and how they prefer to work, so it can change as therapy progresses.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week and reduces travel time. It also makes it simpler to have a shorter check-in or to use audio-only sessions when that better fits a day. Registered or accredited professionals can help arrange sessions around work, family commitments and other routines to keep progress realistic and steady.
