About Kirsty
Kirsty Waite is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She holds BACP registration and has completed over 600 clinical hours. Kirsty offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in life.
Kirsty works in an integrative way and draws on several approaches to suit each person. She uses Jungian ideas alongside cognitive behavioural methods and acceptance and commitment tools.
Background and approach
Her style is collaborative and paced to the individual. She has supported people through anxiety, stress and panic attacks, and mood disorders such as depression. Grief and loss are also areas she commonly helps with, including the complex feelings that follow life changes and midlife shifts.
Kirsty brings lived experience as a carer, which she says informs her patience and practical understanding of caregiver strain. She also works with concerns such as chronic illness and pain, cancer-related distress, and compassion fatigue. Other focus areas include relationship and attachment issues, abandonment, low self-esteem, guilt and shame, hoarding, and problems with communication and commitment.
Sessions can explore coping strategies, boundaries, and steps towards a clearer sense of purpose. Kirsty offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People can start by using the platform's matching process to find a suitable time and format to begin.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Jungian Therapy draws on symbols, dreams and personal stories to help people understand deeper patterns in their lives. It can be useful for exploring life purpose, midlife shifts, and recurring emotional themes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and taking action towards valued goals. It often helps with anxiety, depression and coping with chronic health problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with attachment worries, abandonment fears and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your needs, values and goals and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as you learn what helps you most.
Online sessions use video calls, phone appointments, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls use less bandwidth, and messaging allows shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for work commitments, caring responsibilities, or long-distance arrangements, while keeping the focus on practical support and emotional understanding.
