About Kirsty
Kirsty Nash is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has around 10 years of professional experience in the UK working with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, self-esteem and life changes. Kirsty focuses on people navigating difficult transitions and pressures common in early adulthood.
Her approach treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions usually involve practical conversation about what is happening now. Kirsty uses straightforward tools from several therapies to help people manage feelings and make choices that suit their lives.
In practice she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with unhelpful thinking patterns and action-based steps. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and their impact on current stress. She also brings techniques from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to support emotional regulation when feelings feel overwhelming.
Kirsty often helps with workplace pressure, shifting identity after university, relationship strain and the feeling of being behind peers. She also supports people dealing with past abuse, sexual assault, self-harm and issues around guilt and shame. Her work addresses both immediate coping and longer term patterns that keep problems returning.
Sessions are held in English and she accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing it with practical steps and exercises. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that began earlier in life and how they affect current connections; it can help when relationship dynamics cause repeated distress.Working out which approach fits best is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try methods that match their goals and preferences, and adjust as they learn what helps. That way sessions remain practical and grounded in the client’s day-to-day challenges.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study or work, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use techniques between sessions and bring real-life examples into conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools like ACT and CBT to work across distance while focusing on clear steps, skills practice and problem-solving.
