Kirstie Beckman, BACP

Kirstie Beckman is a counsellor with five years of practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She creates a warm, non-judgemental environment where adults and couples can talk about what feels hard. Sessions are paced to each person’s needs and focus on helping people feel steadier and clearer about next steps.

Her work often centres on anxiety, low mood, and relationship difficulties. She also supports issues around self-worth, betrayal and trust, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Kirstie pays attention to how past experiences and unmet needs continue to affect everyday life and relationships.

Therapy is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Kirstie combines client-centred ways of working with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, choosing methods that suit each person. The aim is to build self-understanding, emotional regulation, and greater self-compassion.

Conversations in sessions look at patterns of coping and how they show up now. Clients work on reconnecting with values and practical steps that fit their life. Progress is measured in small, meaningful changes rather than quick fixes.

Kirstie works from the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. The service operates on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Kirstie’s approaches work for online therapy

Kirstie works from a client-centred base which puts the person’s experience first. This approach focuses on listening, empathic reflection and following the client’s pace so they feel heard and understood. It helps when people want to clarify values, process emotions and build self-compassion.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used alongside that base. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress by offering clear tools to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which ways of working feel most helpful. Together they’ll review what’s effective and adjust methods to match goals and preferences.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please check current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or study commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and home practice to suit an online rhythm and everyday life.
