Kirsty Nash

Kirsty Nash draws on a decade of experience supporting people through stressful life moments. She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. Kirsty uses a strengths-based stance and believes people know their own story best. She aims to offer calm, practical support as someone explores change.

Her background includes work across mental health settings in the United Kingdom and ten years of practice. Kirsty holds BACP and NCPS credentials and uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She often draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on acceptance-based tools to help people live by their values.

Sessions are typically conversational and paced to the person's comfort. Kirsty encourages clear, small goals and practical strategies that can be tried between meetings. She also pays attention to attachment issues and relationship patterns when these are relevant to the person's difficulties.

People bring a wide range of concerns to her, including stress, self-esteem, coping with life changes, career worries and experiences of abuse. Women's issues are included among the areas she focuses on. Kirsty supports young adults who are finding their feet and those dealing with shame, guilt or self-harm urges.

Kirsty aims to be collaborative and direct. She helps people notice what is getting in the way and then try out different ways of responding. If you are looking for practical tools alongside reflective conversation, she may be a good fit.

How Kirsty’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers simple, practical strategies to test out unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can be helpful when someone wants to understand patterns in close relationships or struggles with trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and agree together which techniques to try. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during lunch breaks or between commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed, or conversations without being on camera if that feels easier. Confirm the available session formats when booking to make sure they match your needs.
