About Kirstine Hunter

Kirstine Hunter is a humanistic counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) who currently offers most sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays. She combines a warm, accepting presence with practical experience gained through both private practice and voluntary roles, including three years in a bereavement service and work with an LGBT+ organisation.

Kirstine is curious about how individuality and difference shape personal experience, and she creates a non-judgemental space where clients can explore how they relate to themselves, others, and the wider world. She has worked with a range of concerns such as anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, identity questions, and loss, and she supports people in finding ways to feel less overwhelmed by day-to-day pressures.

As a humanistic practitioner, Kirstine adapts her approach to fit each person she sees rather than applying a single template. Her background in the health sector, specifically supporting people in a cancer care setting, gives her insight into how physical health and hormonal changes can affect mental wellbeing. She is particularly interested in supporting people experiencing menopausal or other hormonal changes and brings that lived clinical context into her counselling practice.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online support



Kirstine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them - it can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and managing ongoing stress. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns by using practical strategies and experiments between sessions - it is often effective for worries, low self-esteem, and mood difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kirstine works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques to suit individual circumstances rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health demands. These formats make it easier to maintain regular contact with a licensed professional or therapist from different locations and can be arranged to fit varied schedules and levels of comfort.
