About Kirstie
Kirstie Beckman is a BACP counsellor who offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about what feels hard. She works with adults and couples on things like anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and loss. Sessions are aimed at helping people make sense of patterns that cause pain and get clearer about next steps.
Kirstie uses a relational, person-focused style rather than a one-size-fits-all model. She pays attention to how past experiences and unmet needs influence current relationships and behaviour. This helps people see why they keep repeating the same patterns and where change might begin.
Practical tools are part of the work alongside reflective conversation. Kirstie draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thinking and behaviour, and Client-Centred approaches to build understanding and emotional safety. The balance depends on what each person needs in the moment.
People come for many reasons, including stress, grief, self-esteem, eating and intimacy-related concerns, parenting pressures, codependency and trauma. She also supports those dealing with career changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. The focus is on small, manageable steps rather than quick fixes.
Kirstie has five years' experience and sees therapy as a collaborative process. She aims to help people increase self-compassion, regulate difficult feelings and reconnect with personal values. To begin, readers are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.
How Kirstie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people feel understood. It is about following the client's pace and building a trusting therapeutic relationship that supports exploration of personal values and emotions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kirstie aims to decide the method together, matching tools and conversation style to a person's goals and preferences. This collaborative process means the plan can change as understanding deepens.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and offer flexible check-ins when life is hectic. It can also make shorter practical exercises or worksheet-based CBT tasks easier to use between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt pacing and tools online to suit each person's situation.
