About Kirsty
Kirsty Palmer is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings six years of practical experience to her work. She holds NCPS and uses a gentle, person-centred way of meeting people where they are. Kirsty welcomes conversations about stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship concerns.
She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, self-esteem and identity questions including LGBT topics. Her practice blends existential ideas with attachment and client-centred ways of working.
Background and approach
That means sessions look at what matters most to the person, how past relationships shape current patterns, and how everyday choices connect to a sense of meaning. Kirsty also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques when helpful for mood, sleep or unhelpful thinking. Sessions are straightforward and conversational.
People can expect to talk through current problems, notice patterns that get in the way, and try practical steps between meetings. The emphasis is on clarity and small, manageable changes rather than jargon or long worksheets.
Kirsty has experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, caregiver strain, eating and body image issues, ADHD-related challenges, chronic illness and first responder pressures. She also works with intimacy and attachment difficulties, abandonment worries and communication problems. Working online, she offers flexible session formats to fit different lives.
The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and then a chance to schedule sessions that suit the individual.

Online support
How Kirsty’s approaches work online
Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and values. It helps when people feel empty, stuck or unsure about direction in life by inviting reflection on what matters and what choices are possible.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and close relationships shape current behaviour. It can help people notice patterns in intimacy, trust and communication and try different ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace, offering empathy and space to make sense of difficult feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kirsty will discuss different methods and aim to agree a way of working that fits the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may include borrowing ideas from more than one approach.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see non-verbal cues and hold longer sessions. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier if you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, journalling between sessions or people who find typing helps them reflect. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or busy schedules.
