Kirsten Lawrence , BACP

Kirsten Lawrence offers straightforward, compassionate counselling for people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life change. She introduces simple ways to make sense of difficult feelings and to build small, practical steps forward. Kirsten works in English and is based in the United Kingdom.

Her approach focuses on listening without judgement and helping people spot their own strengths. Sessions aim to give space to talk things through, to unpick patterns, and to try new ways of coping. She draws on client-centred and mindfulness ideas to keep sessions grounded and practical.

Kirsten has eight years' experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns. These include trauma and abuse, parenting strain, relationship difficulties, ADHD and mood disorders such as bipolar. She also helps with loneliness, career worries, money stress and feelings of emptiness.

In the room she offers a calm, collaborative environment to explore what matters most to each person. Conversations can cover practical coping tools, emotion regulation, and steps towards greater self-compassion. The aim is to leave people feeling more able to manage day-to-day stresses and make clearer choices.

Kirsten works with adults who want a thoughtful, person-centred way of working. For those seeking support with life transitions, family problems, or recovery after traumatic events, she combines listening with mindful techniques to help people regain balance and direction.

Client-centred and mindful approaches for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions and focuses on listening, understanding and reflecting what matters to you. It helps with low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and feelings of emptiness by encouraging self-awareness and personal choice.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and manage strong emotions. These techniques are useful for anxiety, stress, panic and coping after traumatic events because they help people notice thoughts and sensations without reacting to them.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kirsten treats this as a collaborative process and will help you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. Together you can try different ways of working and adjust as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are close to a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier with limited bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing written reflection. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
