About Kirsten
Kirsten Lawrence is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with eight years of practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, relationship and family problems, grief, life purpose concerns and mood difficulties. Kirsten also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar features, compassion fatigue and career uncertainty.
Kirsten uses a person-focused approach that encourages people to talk through what matters to them. She listens for patterns that keep causing pain and helps people notice their strengths. Sessions aim to make everyday problems more manageable and to open options when someone feels stuck after change.
Her work draws on client-centred ideas and mindfulness practices alongside several humanistic and relational approaches. That means sessions typically focus on the person’s experience in the room and on short exercises to increase present-moment awareness. Kirsten may combine talking and practical reflection to help with emotional regulation and clearer decision-making.
People often come with questions about family conflict, guilt and shame, feelings of emptiness, or the struggle to find direction after loss or separation. She also offers support for financial stress, caregiving pressure and problems with communication. The emphasis is on steady, practical steps rather than quick fixes.
Practical details are handled through an online subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging a first session. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
How Kirsten uses client-centred and mindfulness work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience in the moment. It involves attentive listening and reflecting back what someone says so they can hear their own thoughts more clearly. This approach is often helpful for people sorting out decisions, relationship questions or feelings of emptiness.Mindfulness Therapy involves simple practices to bring attention to the present. Exercises may include brief breathing techniques and guided noticing of physical sensations and thoughts. These tools can help reduce reactivity to stress, panic and overwhelming emotion.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then suggest ways of working together. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as sessions progress.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving duties and travel. It also allows shorter check-ins when time is limited and approaches that rely on verbal reflection and simple mindfulness practices translate well to remote settings. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and activities to suit each person’s life.
