Kirsty LeeBACP

Kirsty Lee is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and parenting challenges. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief and low self-esteem.

Kirsty aims to keep therapy straightforward and easy to understand. She uses an integrative style, drawing on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centred work and mindfulness. In sessions she focuses on clear, practical ideas that clients can use between meetings.

Clients can expect collaborative sessions where they set goals and try tools that match their needs. Kirsty helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practise new ways of responding, and build steady coping skills. She also gives space to process difficult feelings like grief or trauma at a pace that suits each person.

Her background includes work with family and parenting concerns, and additional focus areas such as attachment and blended family issues. She has supported people experiencing postpartum depression, self-harm, sexual assault and related distress.

Kirsty works in plain language and values a warm, respectful tone. Her approach is aimed at helping people find what actually helps them day to day. To begin, readers are encouraged to follow the site’s Start Therapy steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to the therapist’s availability.

How her approach translates to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions towards them. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and being stuck in old patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to ease symptoms such as worry and low mood. Mindfulness work helps people develop attention and calm through simple awareness practices.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss which methods feel most useful and adapt them to each person's goals and preferences. This choice is made collaboratively, with room to try things and change direction if needed.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. It also means people who live further away or abroad can connect with a registered BACP professional in the United Kingdom. Practical arrangements and session length will be clarified when arranging appointments.
