Walking alongside you: Meet Kirstie, Integrative Counsellor & Life Coach at Space Between Us

At Space Between Us, we believe therapy is about being met with warmth, honesty, and care. Not being ‘fixed’, but being supported. Each member of our team brings not only professional experience, but something deeply human to the work. Today, we’d love to introduce you to one of our founding therapists, Kirstie.

Kirstie is an integrative counsellor who works in a way that’s gentle, collaborative, and tailored to each individual. She brings over a decade of experience to her practice, drawing from both person-centred and cognitive behavioural therapy to offer a safe and supportive space for clients.

“I believe therapy should feel like a place where you’re truly seen and heard, without judgement or pressure. It’s about helping you make sense of things at your own pace.”

Kirstie began her counselling journey more than ten years ago, first training in person-centred therapy before going on to complete a postgraduate qualification in Low Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She’s especially passionate about supporting people through relationship struggles, unresolved trauma, and grief. The kinds of challenges that can leave us feeling lost, stuck, or overwhelmed.

Her background spans the NHS, the charity sector, and private practice. She currently also works as a Senior Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner in a forensic setting, bringing an even deeper level of understanding to how people cope and recover in complex environments.

“I’ve worked with people from all walks of life, and what strikes me every time is how resilient we are. Sometimes we just need the right space to reconnect with that.”

Outside of therapy, Kirstie finds joy in the simple things: writing poetry, listening to music, and getting lost in the energy of a live concert.

Whether you’re feeling weighed down by life or simply looking to better understand yourself, Kirstie offers a calm and supportive space to explore whatever you need.
