About Kirsten

Kirsten Lawrence offers calm, steady support for people under stress or facing big life changes. She focuses on helping carers and others who feel overwhelmed by roles and responsibilities. Sessions are aimed at making day-to-day life more manageable and helping people reconnect with their strengths.

Kirsten uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client’s experience first. She draws on mindfulness to help reduce anxiety and to build clearer thinking in difficult moments. Conversations are practical and paced to suit what each person needs on the day.

Her practice suits people wrestling with anxiety, stress, grief, low self-esteem, past trauma or mood swings. She also helps with relationship worries, parenting strains, caregiver stress and questions about life purpose. The tone is non-judgemental, steady and focused on small, realistic steps forward.

Kirsten holds BACP, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has eight years’ experience working with adults in the United Kingdom and with international clients who choose to work in English.

Work with her starts by outlining what matters most to you and agreeing practical goals. Sessions explore patterns that keep problems in place and try out new ways of coping. Over time the aim is to build more confidence, clearer boundaries and a stronger sense of self.

How Kirsten uses person-centred and mindfulness approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with acceptance and helping people find their own answers. The therapist offers a supportive, non-judgemental space and follows the person’s pace to work on whatever matters most. This approach suits people who need understanding, clarity and stronger self-direction.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills and calming practices that can lower anxiety and reduce reactivity. It helps with stress, panic feelings and repetitive worrying by training attention and noticing what happens in the body and mind without immediate reaction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kirsten will discuss goals, what has helped before and what feels manageable. That conversation guides whether more person-centred listening or mindfulness exercises are used, or a mix of both.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed and let people join from different time zones. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals adapt the pace and tools so the work fits each person’s routine and goals.
