Kirsty Woodier

Kirsty Woodier is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and issues around self‑esteem. She also supports people facing addiction concerns, family and parenting pressures, trauma and abuse, anger, career transitions and life changes. Kirsty uses a person‑centred way of working that puts the client’s experience at the centre of sessions.

She trained with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and holds a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling at level 4. Kirsty is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and attends ongoing professional development and supervision as part of her practice.

In sessions she listens with empathy and aims to create a calm, non‑judgemental space where people can talk through what is worrying them. Her style is open and collaborative - she follows the lead of the person in front of her while offering gentle reflections and practical ideas when helpful.

Kirsty draws mainly on client‑centred principles and also uses cognitive behavioural techniques when they suit the client’s goals. That means she focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and, when useful, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going.

People come to Kirsty for a wide range of concerns, including attachment and blended family issues, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, feelings of emptiness or isolation, and obsessive behaviours. She aims to help people identify their strengths and take practical steps toward change.
