Kirsten Lawrence

Kirsten Lawrence is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She works with people facing grief, low self esteem, relationship and parenting concerns, and those coping with trauma or mood difficulties. Kirsten uses straightforward, calm support so people can talk through what matters without judgement.

She draws on eight years of clinical experience and works from a human-centred, flexible way of working. That means sessions aim to understand each person’s story and build on their strengths. Kirsten uses Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy alongside other humanistic ideas to suit the needs of each person.

In sessions she helps people spot patterns that keep them stuck and try small, practical changes. She also supports people to manage panic, ADHD-related struggles, compassion fatigue and career stresses. Conversations can include exploring family problems, forgiveness, financial worries and questions about life purpose.

Kirsten is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and she practises in the United Kingdom. Her approach is conversational and reflective, with attention to building a collaborative relationship and practical coping strategies.

People can expect clear explanations of different ways of working and time to decide what feels most helpful. Sessions aim to increase self-understanding and give tools to cope between meetings, while recognising each person moves at their own pace.

How Kirsten’s approaches work online and in sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with respect and curiosity. The therapist offers empathy and acceptance so people can speak openly and make their own decisions. This approach helps with low self esteem, relationship doubts and feeling overwhelmed.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple present-moment awareness and grounding techniques. It can reduce anxiety and help people manage panic, stress and emotional reactivity by practising calm attention and paced breathing.

Finding the right way of working is a shared process. Kirsten will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and help decide which approaches to try. The plan can change as sessions progress so the work fits what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and to speak from a familiar setting. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or reduce the need to travel.
