Kirsty Palmer, NCPS

Kirsty Palmer is a counsellor from the United Kingdom who offers a gentle, person-centred approach. She focuses on building a trusting space where people can begin the first step towards change. Kirsty uses clear, straightforward language and practical conversation to make sessions easy to follow.

With six years' experience she has worked with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, first responder stress and related problems.

Kirsty draws on client-centred methods to keep the person’s own perspective at the heart of therapy. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at relationship patterns and cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Sessions aim to be practical and paced to the client’s needs.

Her style is calm and collaborative. Kirsty works to help people notice patterns, try small changes and build useful coping skills. She welcomes discussion about goals and adapts her approach to what feels most helpful.

How Kirsty’s approaches translate to online therapy

Kirsty uses client-centred work that places the person's experience first and helps them set their own goals. This approach supports conversations about feelings, values and what people want to change in their lives.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape patterns. That can help with trust, closeness and repeated relationship difficulties. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical steps to alter behaviour and mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods fit best. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to practical concerns and personal priorities.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it simpler to fit therapy into daily life, reduce travel time, and allow easier access from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that suit a work break or other commitments, depending on the formats offered.
