About Kirsty
Kirsty Palmer is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She uses a gentle, person-centred way of working and aims to make the first step toward change easier to take. She welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by low mood or stress and wants to help them find practical ways forward.
Kirsty draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions are conversational and collaborative, with space to reflect and try small changes between meetings. People often come for help with depression, anxiety, sleep and eating issues, or struggles with identity and relationships.
Kirsty also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, addictions and caregiver stress. She pays attention to how issues like attachment style, abandonment fears or codependency can affect day-to-day life. Her approach is client-centred, so sessions focus on what matters to the individual.
Conversations are paced to suit the person and practical steps are offered when useful. The aim is to build clearer thinking, steadier mood and more reliable coping skills. Kirsty holds NCPS as a listed credential and works with people across the UK.
She offers a friendly, straightforward space for people ready to look at change and to try different ways of managing their wellbeing.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviours that keep problems going. They are often used for low mood, anxiety, sleep and eating issues and can produce concrete tools to try between sessions. Kirsty combines these approaches so she can adapt to each person’s needs and goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kirsty will discuss aims and preferences and agree a path together. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions lean more towards exploration, practical skill-building or a mix of both.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video helps with face-to-face conversation, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel.
