Kirsty Bees , BACP

Kirsty Bees is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with big life changes and concerns linked to body image, sexuality and women's issues.

Kirsty works in a clear, down-to-earth way. She focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Conversations look at what is causing distress now and what small changes might ease it. Sessions move at the client's pace and aim to build useful coping skills.

She holds a BACP credential, which is a UK professional registration for counsellors. Kirsty has five years of experience working with adults across a range of emotional difficulties. That background informs how she plans sessions and suggests strategies.

Her approach is flexible rather than one-size-fits-all. She listens for patterns such as shame, isolation or problems with communication, then adapts tools to the issue. People often focus on practical techniques for anxiety, ways to process grief and steps to rebuild confidence.

Kirsty encourages straightforward goal-setting and short experiments to test what helps. She explains options plainly and checks in about what is working. The process is collaborative, with the aim of helping each person feel more capable day to day.

Approaches and online options that fit daily life

Kirsty uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to what each person needs. One common approach focuses on practical steps to reduce anxiety and depression such as breaking problems into smaller parts and trying short behavioural experiments. Another approach centres on processing grief and loss through guided conversations and paced reflection, helping people make sense of painful changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kirsty will discuss options with each person and choose methods together based on the issues, goals and what feels manageable. The plan can change as progress is made and new needs appear, keeping the process collaborative.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into everyday life. Video calls allow face-to-face dialogue, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quicker check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people access support even with busy schedules or when travel is difficult.
