Kirsty Waite, BACP

Kirsty Waite is an integrative counsellor in the United Kingdom who offers an empathetic, client-focused approach to emotional wellbeing. Credentialed with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she brings three years of professional experience and more than 600 clinical hours to her practice. Kirsty creates a calm, non-judgemental environment where people can explore feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, trauma, and difficult life transitions at their own pace.

As an integrative practitioner, Kirsty adapts her methods to fit each person rather than relying on a single technique. She draws on person-centred principles, cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, and psychodynamic insights to tailor sessions that address the whole person. Her work has supported people facing anxiety and stress, grief and loss, parenting challenges, chronic illness or disability - including carers support - low self-esteem, trauma and past abuse, and major life changes.

Kirsty also speaks from lived experience as a carer, which informs her patience, understanding, and practical empathy when supporting others who balance caregiving with their own wellbeing. Her sessions are collaborative and supportive, respectful of individual pace and values, flexible in approach, and structured when that structure is helpful. If someone is ready to begin, Kirsty offers a listening presence and guided support to help reconnect with inner strengths and move toward meaningful change.
