About Kirsten

Kirsten Lawrence is a counsellor who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and the upheaval of separation. She writes in straightforward terms and offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through difficult feelings. Her practice also supports people dealing with grief, parenting pressures, mood shifts and questions about identity or purpose.

Kirsten uses an integrative, client-centred way of working that adapts to each person. She listens first to understand what matters most, then chooses approaches that suit the situation. That might include mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm, or conversational work to uncover unhelpful patterns.

With eight years' experience, Kirsten brings steady presence and practical focus to sessions. She helps people notice strengths, name painful patterns, and try small changes that build over time. The work is collaborative - clients set goals and pace.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is listed as her credential. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts clients from outside the UK.

Kirsten supports people dealing with divorce and separation as one of her focus areas, helping them manage practical and emotional challenges. She also works with issues such as trauma, ADHD, compassion fatigue and self-esteem, tailoring the approach to each person's needs.

How Kirsten’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and accepted. The counsellor follows the person's lead, reflects what they say and helps them find their own solutions. This approach can help with relationship strain, grief and the emotional impact of separation.

Mindfulness Therapy involves learning simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and increase self-awareness. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and managing mood shifts by teaching short skills to use in daily life.

Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. The counsellor and client will talk about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that match those aims. Adjustments are made as the work progresses so the plan stays relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around everyday life, such as arranging shorter check-ins, avoiding travel time, or choosing quieter times around work or caregiving. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt practical arrangements to help therapy fit into a person's routine without promising a specific format.
