Kirsten Lawrence, BACP

Kirsten Lawrence offers calm, practical support for people dealing with worry, low self-esteem, loss and major life changes. She aims to help clients feel clearer about their choices and more confident in day-to-day life. Kirsten uses simple, conversational ways to help people notice what is getting in the way and try new responses.

Kirsten draws on eight years of practice and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her work focuses on listening closely and responding to what each person needs. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit how someone prefers to work.

She commonly helps people managing stress, anxiety and mood difficulties, alongside trauma and grief. She also supports those facing parenting stress, work pressure, identity questions and relationship problems. Other areas include ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue when these affect everyday functioning.

Kirsten’s approach is rooted in client-centred ideas and mindfulness. That means she gives people space to be heard while gently guiding them to notice patterns and experiment with small changes. Practical exercises and reflective conversation are used depending on what someone finds useful.

If a person wants to begin, Kirsten asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that suits their needs. The early sessions are used to set goals and check the best way of working together. Her aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How client-centred and mindful approaches work online

Kirsten draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on giving people space to talk and be understood. This approach helps when someone needs to explore feelings, build self-awareness and decide what they want to change. Mindfulness therapy complements that by teaching simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions. Mindfulness can help reduce reactivity to stress and increase calm during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kirsten aims to collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs and goals. Early sessions are used to check what feels most helpful and to agree small steps the person can try between meetings.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also help people meet regularly while they live in different locations. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and conversation to work well by video or phone depending on what a client prefers.
