Kirsten Lawrence, BACP

Kirsten Lawrence is a United Kingdom based counsellor with eight years of practical experience and membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers supportive, person-focused therapy that aims to strengthen autonomy, encourage personal development, and help people recognise and build on their own strengths.

Kirsten works with a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, relationship and family issues, grief and loss, mood disorders and self-esteem difficulties. Her practice also addresses needs related to ADHD, bipolar, compassion fatigue, career pressures, life transitions, and issues affecting LGBT clients. She is experienced in helping with caregiving stress, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, isolation and questions about life purpose.

Using an integrative, humanistic framework, Kirsten draws on client-centered principles alongside mindfulness techniques to tailor therapy to each person. She creates a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where people can explore past experiences, make sense of current patterns, and develop new responses to difficult situations. Kirsten accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English, supporting people seeking understanding and practical ways to cope and grow.

Client-Centered and Mindfulness Support Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathic, accepting space where the person sets the direction and the therapist offers understanding and reflection. This approach is particularly helpful for exploring self-esteem, relationships, life transitions, and the personal meanings behind difficult feelings.

Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and sensations, teaching practical ways to respond to stress and anxiety rather than react. It can support people coping with mood challenges, panic, and ongoing worry by building skills for calmer, more grounded responses.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Kirsten works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the pace and focus as therapy progresses. Registered professionals and therapists can blend techniques to suit what works best for an individual.

Online therapy offers flexible access to support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate different communication styles, and connect people across locations while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
