About Kirsty
BACP counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. Kirsty Woodier helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, addictions, anger and life changes. She works from person-centred principles alongside cognitive behavioural ideas to support people who want clearer coping strategies and better day-to-day functioning.
Kirsty uses a person-centred style that prioritises listening and collaboration. She offers time to talk through what matters and helps people set practical steps to try between sessions. Where helpful, she also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and routines that maintain distress.
Her training includes a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and a level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and attends ongoing supervision and continuing professional development.
Kirsty supports people who want help with parenting strain, blended family issues, communication problems, codependency, commitment doubts, and attachment concerns. She also works with those experiencing obsessive or compulsive thoughts, career uncertainty, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Expect a mix of reflective listening, joint problem-solving and short skills practice. People who prefer clear, step-by-step approaches alongside open listening tend to find this style helpful.
Sheet 2
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Person-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. It helps people feel understood and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and teaches practical steps to try in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kirsty will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow work on behavioural experiments and thinking patterns between meetings, which suits the CBT elements of her practice.
