“I started working with Kirsty at the end of 2022. I had moved abroad but it hadn’t worked out, and I was under a lot of pressure from people close to me to “figure out what I was doing with my life”, which led to me having panic attacks and high levels of anxiety that I’d previously had completely under control.
I tried a few therapists before Kirsty, two that I just did a single session with but one who I saw for a twelve-week block, but I found it frustrating, grounded too much in the past and I felt like words were being put in my mouth.
Kirsty’s approach was a complete breath of fresh air.
I feel heard and understood in every session, and she doesn’t tell me what to do or how I’m feeling, instead guiding me towards making decisions for myself and highlighting things I’ve said by repeating them back to me and prompting me to think about why I’ve said that.
The reason why I’ve loved working with Kirsty is because she is very focussed on the future. We’ve jumped back in time in the early days and spoken about the root causes behind my anxiety, but all with the objective of moving forwards and making progress in my life now.
Once my anxiety was more under control, we moved to a session every two weeks and now have ad hoc sessions if I have a challenging situation to deal with or I just feel like clearing my head. Kirsty creates a safe space to talk, and I always leave her sessions feeling better equipped to deal with whatever comes my way.
We can have a lot of light-hearted moments in our sessions, and she is very easy to get along with and relate to, which I think helped build a relationship of trust very quickly.
Kirsty’s sessions don’t feel clinical, but instead warm, like you’re getting advice from an older sister rather than sitting in a therapist’s office.
I look forward to our sessions and even when I’m in a good place with my anxiety issues, Kirsty has helped me with relationships, travel, my career and supported me as I moved to another different country (but I’ve been here for 10 months now, so this time it’s working out!)
I couldn’t recommend her more.
She’s supported me in turning my whole life around and has helped me regain my confidence and self-esteem. I continue to work with her because I think her sessions make me more self-aware, compassionate and confident, and she is helping me to understand and empathise with myself in a way I never could before, which has led to me being a happier person.”
