Kirstine Hunter, BACP

Kirstine Hunter is a humanistic counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), bringing a compassionate, person-centred approach to her practice. Her main days for offering sessions are Monday and Wednesday. She has combined private practice with voluntary roles, including three years in a bereavement service and work with an LGBT+ organisation, experiences that shape a broad understanding of life loss and identity-related issues.

She is interested in how individuality and difference influence emotional experience and relationships, and she offers accepting, warm support to help people explore different aspects of themselves. Working in a non-judgemental space, she helps clients increase awareness of how they relate to the world, to others, and to themselves. Her caseload has included anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, identity concerns and various forms of loss, and she aims to work collaboratively to find ways for people to feel less overwhelmed.

With a background in the health sector, specifically within a cancer setting, she brings an understanding of how physical health can influence mental wellbeing. This experience informs her counselling and contributes to her passion for supporting people who are experiencing menopausal or other hormonal changes. As a humanistic counsellor, she adapts her way of working to suit each individual’s needs and circumstances.
