About Kirsten Cook

Kirsten Cook is a qualified counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings a compassionate, person-centred approach to her work. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and combines four years of counselling experience with fifteen years supporting young adults with behavioural and learning differences. Kirsten aims to create a calm, non-judgmental space where people can explore difficult emotions and life challenges.

Kirsten believes that what someone is experiencing does not make them 'weird' or 'unlovable' but rather human, and she meets people with empathy and practical curiosity. Her practice is integrative and person-centred, guiding clients to discover their own insights while gently inviting them to examine patterns and underlying issues. She adapts her skills to each individual, working at a pace that feels right for the person in front of her.

She has experience supporting victims of crime, including sexual, domestic and substance-related abuse, and she works with a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family matters, trauma, grief and intimacy-related issues. Kirsten aims to be approachable and understanding, offering steady support to those navigating difficult times.

Her stated goal as a counsellor is to sit with clients in their darkest hour, shoulder to shoulder, and to help them find a small source of light when they are ready. Kirsten looks forward to speaking with people who are ready to take that first step toward support.

Could Online Therapy Fit Your Life?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can really help. For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes - online therapy can be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. It offers a way to access therapeutic support for everyday mental health and relational issues without changing the core work between client and therapist.

One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it simpler to include therapy in a busy schedule. Licensed professionals offer these options, and clients may choose to switch therapists at any time if they are seeking a different fit.
