About Kirsty
BACP, NCPS. Ten years' professional experience. Kirsty Nash works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and motivation. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her counselling.
Kirsty presents herself as someone who treats each person as the expert on their life. She listens for strengths a client already has and uses those to tackle current problems. Sessions focus on practical steps and conversations that help people manage difficult emotions and rebuild confidence.
Her work covers relationship and family strain, career worries, and the challenges that follow abuse or sexual assault. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, self-harm, attachment issues, and concerns linked to autism and Asperger Syndrome. Young adult issues and women’s concerns are included in her focus areas.
Kirsty draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. She may use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take actionable steps in line with what matters to them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used when emotion regulation or distress tolerance skills are needed.
People can expect a straightforward counselling style that aims to make day-to-day life more manageable. She works with English-speaking clients and accepts international clients. Practical details such as session format should be confirmed before booking.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is often used where people want to reduce avoidance and live more in line with what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It breaks problems into manageable steps and is commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. It can be useful when strong emotions or self-harm urges make day-to-day coping difficult. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss different methods and agree with the client which tools to try, adapting as needs and goals become clearer. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find remote counselling useful because it can fit around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use a range of methods to deliver therapy remotely, and the counsellor will explain which formats she offers when you arrange your first session.Areas of expertise
