About Kirstine Hunter

Kirstine Hunter is a humanistic counsellor who combines clinical experience with a compassionate, person-centred approach. Registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she brings seven years of practice that include private work and volunteer roles in bereavement support and LGBT+ services. Her background also includes time in the health sector, specifically supporting people affected by cancer, which has informed her awareness of how physical health and hormonal changes can influence emotional wellbeing.

Kirstine is interested in how individual differences shape experience and offers a warm, non-judgemental space to explore identity, relationships, loss, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She adapts her way of working to fit each person, helping them build awareness of how they relate to themselves and others and exploring practical ways to feel less overwhelmed. She is also passionate about supporting people experiencing menopausal or other hormonal changes.

Her main days for offering sessions are Monday and Wednesday, and she works with a range of issues including trauma and abuse, addictions, family and relationship difficulties, career concerns, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Kirstine aims to collaborate with people to find approaches that suit their needs and life circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without trying to eliminate them, and then focus on actions that reflect their values. It is often useful for stress, anxiety and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and coping with change.

Kirstine approaches this work collaboratively - she will help clients explore which methods feel most useful and tailor sessions to each person’s needs, goals and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and decisions are made together so the work fits the client rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging provides flexibility to fit sessions around work, family and health commitments. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from home or other locations and support continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Kirstine uses these remote formats to offer consistent, adaptable support that aligns with each client’s lifestyle and practical needs.
