How I Work
Integrative pluralistic counselling recognises that there is no single “right” way to heal. Therapy is shaped collaboratively, drawing from different approaches to suit you as an individual - your identity, your lived experience, and how your mind and nervous system work.
Workshops & Speaking Engagements
Kirsty is available to deliver workshops and speak at events across Inverclyde and beyond. With over 21 years’ experience working in community, educational, and wellbeing settings, sessions are grounded, inclusive, and shaped around the needs of the audience.
Workshops and talks are designed to be engaging, accessible, and trauma-informed, creating spaces where people feel safe to learn, reflect, and take something meaningful away.
"If it wasn't for Kirsty I wouldn't be doing the things I am know. I never thought I would be able to go to college. I learned tools that helped me not to react and allow my anger to dominate me and never thought about consequences. Now I am able to stop myself and regulate my emotions and remain calmer when stressed. Healthier choice sand ways of coping during moments or built us stress.
I met with Kirsty over the course of 18 weeks and can't thank her enough for the support. I always looked forward to these sessions as never had counselling before. I felt comfortable, safe and seen. I real weight of my shoulders and that time was for me to talk openly and I always did. I would recommend anyone who needs counselling to connect with Kirsty.
It has helped me massively to change my life."

"After counselling with Kirsty, I have managed to deal with issues from my past that really traumatised me for years. Not only have I faced and now understand myself better, but I am also able to respond in a healthier way in the here and now to challenges I face.
Kirsty gave me tools and resources to learn that empowered me to take control. I am and now am my own person who has power to control my life. I feel better able to cope with problems that come up for me. Kirsty is an amazing therapist who helped me feel at ease during sessions. I always looked forward to seeing her and felt 110% better after seeing her. For the first time I am able to live my life and feel I can tackle any situation on my own with a little support."

“I worked with Kirsty over a 12-week period at a time when I really needed support. The sessions helped me explore areas of my wellbeing I hadn’t previously been able to address and gave me space to reflect in a way that felt supportive and constructive.
Through our work together, I gained a clearer understanding of myself and made meaningful changes, including taking better care of my own needs alongside my responsibilities to others. What I thought was my main issue turned out to be something deeper, and having that insight made a real difference.
This is not my first experience of counselling, but it has been the most impactful. Kirsty’s warmth, authenticity, and ability to genuinely understand made the process feel collaborative rather than one-sided. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone considering counselling.”

“Kirsty helped me feel more comfortable and confident over time. I appreciated that she shared her perspective and helped me look at things differently, rather than just listening.
The more we talked, the easier it became for me to calm myself down in certain situations.”
