• Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
• Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
• Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)

Kirsty is interested in helping people overcome difficulties with anxiety, stress, low mood, trauma-related symptoms, grief and loss, relationship problems, or things “just not feeling right”. Kirsty strives to make you feel welcome, safe and accepted as you explore your problem or goals together and find your way to flourishing.
