Kirstie Beckman , BACP

Kirstie Beckman is a counsellor who creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through difficult feelings. She holds a BACP credential and brings five years of practice to help people make sense of anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. Conversations are paced to each person so they can feel heard and understood without pressure.

Her background is relational and client-centred, so sessions focus on the here-and-now connection between thoughts, emotions and behaviour. Kirstie also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to help spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical alternatives. This combination aims to boost self-awareness and offer tools for emotional regulation.

She supports people with a wide range of concerns, including grief, intimacy-related issues, body image and eating-related difficulties. There is also experience helping with stress, career strain, parenting pressures and compassion fatigue. Additional focus includes attachment-related worries, codependency, divorce and separation topics, and challenges after domestic violence.

Kirstie pays attention to how past experiences and unmet needs shape current relationships. Sessions aim to increase self-compassion and clarify personal values. The work often looks at coping strategies and small, manageable steps that make daily life more stable.

Therapy is offered in English from the United Kingdom and is tailored to what each person needs. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life.

How Kirstie's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and makes space to explore feelings, relationships and identity at a comfortable pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It uses practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits that reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with each person to decide whether a more relational, listening-based route or a skills-based CBT focus suits their goals. Plans are adjusted over time as needs and priorities change.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing body language matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer typing their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life and other commitments.
