About Kirsten

Kirsten Lawrence offers calm, straightforward support for people under pressure. She helps individuals who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family problems, parenting strain, mood difficulties and career worries. Kirsten uses simple, practical conversations to help people notice their strengths and make clearer choices about next steps.

Kirsten works in a human-centred way that puts the person’s experience first. Sessions are collaborative and aimed at understanding what matters to the person. She draws on client-centred ideas and mindfulness to help people slow down, notice thoughts and feelings, and respond differently to difficult situations.

Her practice also covers trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, bipolar issues, panic and ADHD-related concerns. Kirsten supports people dealing with life changes, compassion fatigue and the practical strain of caregiving. LGBT concerns, grief, loneliness and questions about life purpose are also within her focus.

Kirsten has eight years’ experience and is a BACP member. She combines several humanistic approaches so each person’s plan is shaped to their needs rather than a fixed method. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness, build coping skills and strengthen day-to-day functioning.

How Kirsten’s approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s view and meeting them without judgement. It helps people feel heard, clarify what they want and build confidence to make changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, which can reduce reactivity to stress and anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as needed. Collaboration is central - sessions aim to discover what helps in day-to-day life rather than forcing a single method.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can still help people fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and make it easier to attend from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins or more flexible scheduling to suit work and family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt client-centred work and mindfulness practices to remote sessions, focusing on practical tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
