Reviews

“Kirstie is an amazing therapist. She's really competent, warm and kind and made me feel comfortable from the very beginning when exploring really painful memories and thoughts about myself. I started therapy because I wanted to work through childhood traumas that still have an impact on my life and sometimes hold me back. I thought it would take me years of therapy to start to feel better, but after 8 months of working with Kirstie I feel that I've already made a lot of progress.

Kirstie gave me the tools to understand my emotions and thoughts and she helped me become confident enough to share them with the people who love me. I feel more able to be kind to myself and accept myself for who I am now. I'm so glad I had therapy with Kirstie, I feel like I invested on myself and my wellbeing and that I will benefit from it for years to come. I would definitely recommend Kirstie to anyone who wants to start therapy, you would be in very good hands!”

“I decided to seek out therapy because I was having a difficult time managing emotions around my family that were occurring as a result of childhood trauma. I was also struggling in romantic relationships, and I was scared that I might never have a healthy one!

Kirstie provided a safe and welcoming space where I could take the difficult things I was feeling and talk about them without fear of judgement, and without feeling as though I was too much. I always felt heard, which was incredibly valuable for me.

I’ve worked with counsellors a few times before, and I’ve never found it that effective, but Kirstie really helped me. She worked with me to process difficult traumatic memories, which I am no longer plagued by. She also helped me to design strategies to put boundaries in place with family members, which I never imagined myself being able to do! We also did a lot of work on self-compassion and on feeling emotions in the body, which is particularly helpful in those moments when I’m feeling overwhelmed. I used to spin off into full-blown panic quite easily, but I have learned how to take a moment to observe the emotion and breathe before reacting, which is really empowering.

I feel like I have the tools now to deal with the things that life throws at me, and that I can not only survive but that I am flourishing. I would definitely recommend that anyone who is struggling speak to Kirstie, she’s changed my life.”

“Kirstie is completely professional while being kind and warm. She knows exactly when to listen and when to ask a question or prompt further reflection. I felt able to be completely honest with her and not feel judged, at a time when my self-judgement was at its absolute peak. She would often explain her understanding and reference models and tools that I could explore further. I also loved that she brought the connection between mind and body - sometimes, when talking wasn't possible, we simply breathed, moved or meditated together. I hadn't explored meditation extensively before I began working with Kirstie, and these techniques have given an ability to see my thoughts and self from new, safe angles.

Through therapy, I have learnt: I'm not a bad person. I am not my thoughts. I am lovable.

I have more psychic freedom to lift myself out of oppressive internal spirals and put distance between myself and my thoughts. I'm able to practice self-compassion, which was impossible at the start of therapy. This helps me to understand myself and my decisions more clearly.”
