About Kirsten
Kirsten Lawrence offers calm, down-to-earth counselling for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, panic and life changes. She writes in plain terms and focuses on helping clients notice what they can do next. Her work aims to ease day-to-day distress and to build clearer ways of coping with stress and panic attacks.
Kirsten describes counselling as a place to talk without judgement. She uses an integrative, person-focused way of working that follows the client’s pace. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness, confidence and choice rather than push a fixed agenda.
Her approach draws on humanistic ideas and mindfulness to help people recognise patterns and immediate reactions. She supports people who are dealing with grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, workplace stress and mood difficulties. Panic disorder and panic attacks are listed among the concerns she addresses.
Kirsten is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has eight years of professional experience. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including for people based outside the UK.
Sessions start with a short conversation about what the person hopes to change or feel differently. From there she and the person agree a way forward together, using compassionate listening and practical steps to manage symptoms and build resilience.
How Kirsten’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It helps people feel heard, improves self-awareness and supports choices that fit their life. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship worries.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions in the moment. Practising these skills can reduce reactivity during panic and help with ongoing stress and mood management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences, then try methods that suit them. Together they review what helps and adapt the way they work as needed.
Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, such as during a lunch break or from a different location when travel is difficult. Practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed, the option to avoid being on camera if that helps, and flexibility for people who live far from in-person services. Confirm the current session options before booking so the chosen format matches practical needs.
