About Kirsty
Kirsty Ginger is a person centred counsellor with ten years of professional experience. She supports people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. Kirsty aims to create a respectful, sensitive and non-judgemental space for people to talk about what matters to them.
Her background includes a level 5 foundation degree in counselling. She also holds an IDVA qualification in domestic abuse, a level 2 mental health qualification and Cruse bereavement training. Kirsty is currently working towards a children and young person qualification. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.
Sessions are shaped around each person. Kirsty listens first, then helps set goals and priorities together. She says the practical work in sessions is guided by what the person needs that week, whether that is making sense of past hurts or improving day-to-day coping.
She has experience supporting people who are dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, communication and commitment issues, and the emotional impact of chronic illness or caring responsibilities. Kirsty also works with people facing body image concerns, dissociation and neurodiverse presentations such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Kirsty has worked with people affected by abuse and with couples wanting to rebuild trust and improve communication. She encourages small steps, clear goals and open conversation about progress. If you decide to start, she asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Person centred counselling focuses on listening, empathy and working at the client’s pace. In an online setting this means the counsellor prioritises the person’s concerns, reflects what is said and helps the person identify their own next steps. This approach can help with stress, grief and relationship problems by offering a steady space to think aloud.Some clients benefit from brief, structured interventions to manage anxiety and low mood. These techniques teach practical ways to notice patterns, change unhelpful thinking and build small coping habits. They are useful for everyday stress, low mood and some relationship issues when people want concrete tools to try between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss preferences and goals and suggest ways of working that match those aims. Together you can try different methods and adjust the plan as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep therapy going while they are living or working in different places.
