You might look like you are coping, while inside you feel anything but.
Your mind rarely switches off. You replay conversations, question yourself, or find yourself putting other people’s needs before your own. You may feel anxious, self-critical or exhausted from trying to get things right, yet still feel you are not enough. You may be tired of feeling this way and want to understand yourself more deeply — to feel less critical of yourself, trust your own voice, and feel more secure in yourself.
You don’t have to know exactly where to begin. We can start there.
I’m Kirsty, an integrative counsellor offering in-person counselling in Wimbledon and Clapham, including walk-and-talk therapy, as well as online sessions across the UK.
You may have spent a long time trying to understand yourself, change things, or simply keep going. Perhaps you’re used to being the one who copes, while privately feeling anxious, self-critical, overwhelmed or unsure of yourself. In our work together, you can begin to slow things down and explore the parts of your experience that can be harder to understand or put into words.
My approach is integrative, drawing on humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural (CBT) ideas, with a strong person-centred and relational foundation. I’m interested in what is happening for you now, as well as the experiences and patterns that have shaped how you relate to yourself and others.
I am a BACP-registered integrative therapist with a BA in Drama and Psychology and a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
My background includes corporate experience, NHS Talking Therapies in Wandsworth and Lambeth, and volunteering with South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust. Through these experiences, I supported people experiencing anxiety, bereavement, depression, stress and work-related difficulties, while developing a deeper understanding of the importance of empathy, compassion and feeling genuinely heard. They have shaped the warm, thoughtful and curious way I work with clients today.
