Kirsty Ginger, BACP

Kirsty Ginger is a person-centred therapist with more than 10 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression. She focuses on creating a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate space where individuals can explore feelings without judgment, and she tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person’s specific needs and goals.

Kirsty holds BACP membership, and her formal training includes a level 5 foundation degree in counselling, an IDVA qualification in domestic abuse support, level 2 mental health training, and Cruse bereavement training. She is also undertaking a children and young people qualification to extend her work with younger clients. These credentials inform her approach to bereavement, trauma-related distress, and complex emotional challenges.

Her experience includes supporting couples to rebuild trust and improve communication, as well as working with issues related to attachment, abandonment, body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and dissociation. Kirsty values collaboration with clients and encourages the courage it takes to begin therapy, helping people move toward clearer understanding and more workable ways of coping.

Approaches that guide online therapy and support

Kirsty works from a person-centred foundation, which emphasises empathy, active listening, and respect for each person’s experience; this approach helps people feel heard and supports growth by focusing on the client’s own strengths and goals. She also offers grief-focused support informed by her Cruse bereavement training, providing practical coping strategies and space to process loss for those adjusting to bereavement. For relationship difficulties she uses techniques aimed at improving communication and rebuilding trust, helping couples explore patterns and develop clearer ways to connect.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kirsty collaborates with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the work over time so therapy stays focused and relevant.

Online therapy with Kirsty is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to access regular sessions from home or while travelling, and allow people to choose the format that feels most comfortable for sharing and progress.
