Kirsty Birnstiel | Anxiety Counselling in Richmond upon Thames | Low mood counselling in Ealing | Depression counsellor Northfields

I decided to train as a counsellor through my own experience of having therapy for the first time in my mid 20s. I found it hugely beneficial and rewarding as it helped me to understand myself and others better. Having that regular weekly session with someone outside of my world (friends and family) where nobody gave me their opinion or unwanted advice, helped me to figure out my way forward and I left feeling more aware and calmer.

Qualifications:

- BA Hons in Person-centred counselling through Middlesex University
- Diploma in Person-centred counselling at Metanoia Institute in Ealing.
- TA101 Certificate
- Barefoot Business and Life Coaching
- Rapid Transformational Therapy.

My foundation is as a person-centred therapist, but I also draw from other modalities along with my coaching experience.

I am a qualified Mental Health Assessor through Metanoia Institute where I assessed clients for their MCPS (Metanoia Counselling and Psychotherapy Service) service and I previously worked for Anxiety UK.

Professional memberships held:

I am registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) as well as the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
