About Kirsten

Kirsten Lawrence is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and relationship strain. She welcomes conversations about parenting, grief, mood difficulties and concerns connected to narcissism. Sessions aim to make things easier to cope with and to build clearer ways of managing everyday pressures.

She draws on eight years of practice and works in a human-centred way. That means clients set the pace and priorities while Kirsten listens and reflects back what matters most. She uses mindfulness exercises and client-centred techniques to help people notice patterns and make small, manageable changes.

Her background includes training recognised by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Kirsten describes counselling as a collaborative process that supports self-awareness and practical coping skills. She focuses on reducing unhelpful self-criticism and strengthening personal resources.

In sessions she helps people look at how past experiences affect current choices. Conversations can cover feelings about control, guilt, shame, isolation and career-related stress. Practical tools such as grounding, breathing and mindful reflection are often offered alongside open conversation.

People who value a calm, steady approach tend to find her style helpful. She accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally and works in English. If someone is unsure what to expect, Kirsten encourages a short matching process to decide on the best next step.

How Kirsten’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgment and reflects what the person says so they can better understand their feelings and choices. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through difficult decisions, relationship worries or questions about identity.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, bodily sensations and emotions without getting swept away by them. Short grounding and breathing exercises are used to reduce stress, manage panic and increase calm in everyday moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kirsten will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can involve trying different ways of working and adjusting the focus as needs change.

Session logistics should be checked before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or remove travel time. It can also let people use exercises and mindfulness practices at home between meetings. Ask about the available session options when you schedule so practical arrangements match everyday life.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
