About Kirstine
Kirstine Hunter is a humanistic counsellor who draws on seven years of experience to support people through depression, anxiety and life changes. She works in the United Kingdom and offers a warm, accepting space for people to talk about what feels hard. Kirstine holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide her practice.
Kirstine adapts her approach to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. She helps people notice patterns in how they relate to themselves and others.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what matters to the person and practical steps to feel less overwhelmed. Her background includes volunteering in bereavement services for three years and supporting an LGBT+ organisation. She has also worked in health settings, including cancer care, so she understands how physical conditions and hormonal changes can affect mood and wellbeing.
Common concerns she supports include stress, self-esteem, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, identity and gender dysphoria, compassion fatigue, addiction, and problems linked to ageing or chronic illness. Kirstine also works with people facing career uncertainty, communication problems and feelings of emptiness or abandonment.
Sessions are arranged around the client and can use a mixture of talking and practical techniques informed by approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Kirstine aims to build a collaborative relationship that helps people take manageable steps towards their goals.

Approaches Kirstine lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with low mood, anxiety, self-esteem and problem-solving.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods best fit their needs, goals and personal preferences. That choice can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions reduce bandwidth needs, live chat can fit brief check-ins into a busy day and text-based messaging lets someone reflect in writing. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, health appointments or other commitments and to keep therapy consistent over time.
