About Kirsty

Kirsty Nash is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. Her practice also covers trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family concerns, and career-related issues.

Kirsty draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different actions. She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches to focus on relationships and the person’s own perspective.

Her way of working is straightforward. Sessions focus on what is causing difficulty now, what the person wants to change, and small practical steps to try between meetings. She encourages people to name their values and to build skills for handling distress when it arises.

Kirsty has a particular focus on issues linked to attachment, autism and Asperger syndrome, and on the impacts of domestic violence and sexual assault. She also supports people dealing with shame, guilt, self-harm thoughts, and problems common in young adulthood.

Sessions are conducted in English, and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are organised through a cancellable subscription model. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session via the See online therapy options button.

How Kirsty uses therapeutic approaches online

Kirsty commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside Client-Centred work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on actions that matter to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns shape current relationships and can help when attachment issues or relationship difficulties are present. Client-Centred work prioritises the person’s own experience and uses listening and reflection to help clarify what matters.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not worked in the past. Together they will try methods that match those goals and review progress as they go.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by reducing travel and allowing sessions around work or study. Different formats can also suit different practical needs - for example a shorter phone check-in can fit into a work break, while video sessions can allow more face-to-face interaction. Registered or accredited professionals will explain the practical arrangements when you arrange your first meeting.
