About Kirsty
Kirsty Woodier is a counsellor and psychotherapist in the United Kingdom with three years of practice and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, anger and related struggles. Sessions focus on steady, practical ways to manage feelings and day-to-day problems.
Kirsty uses a person-centred style, which means she supports people to lead the conversation and to find their own solutions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours in response. Therapy is conversational and focused on what the client wants to change.
Her training includes a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and she keeps supervision and continued professional development as part of her practice. Those qualifications inform how she structures sessions and the kinds of tools she offers.
Kirsty helps people break down intense feelings into manageable steps. That might mean practising breathing and grounding, testing new ways of speaking in difficult conversations, or trying short behavioural experiments between sessions. Progress is measured against the client’s own goals rather than an external checklist.
People who come to Kirsty often want clear, practical approaches they can use outside sessions. She works with the immediate problem while also looking at patterns that keep it coming back. This gives time-limited focus when needed and longer work for deeper issues.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client lead the work. The therapist reflects what is said, clarifies priorities and supports the client to make their own choices. This suits people who want space to talk things through and find their own direction.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It uses short exercises and practical experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, anger and coping with stressful situations.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has worked or not worked before. Together they will try methods that match those goals and adjust them as needed, keeping the process collaborative.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a daily routine, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try exercises between sessions and review progress with practical tasks.
