Welcome
Hello, I’m Kirsty, the Landscape Counsellor.
If I asked you to describe your landscape, I wonder if you would tell me about the hills in the distance, the lake rippling with raindrops, the high rise buildings surrounding you or maybe the four walls encompassing you.
And then, I’d ask you to consider that a landscape can be so much more than what your eyes can see.
YOUR landscape.
A landscape that is filled with YOUR thoughts, YOUR feelings, YOUR experiences, YOUR dreams and YOUR desires.
The landscape of your mind.
A landscape that influences behaviour and experiences.
A landscape that constantly interacts with both our inner world and external environment.
Exploring the landscape of your mind can bring greater self understanding, personal growth and inner peace.
I am a qualified psychotherapist and an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. I offer therapeutic counselling online, by telephone, face to face (both office based and outdoors) in London and across Kent.
I work pluralistically, or more simply, I use multiple therapeutic approaches to tailor the counselling experience to the individual needs of each client, bringing flexibility, adaptability and collaboration.
Through exploration of your unique landscape, we will work together so that you may discover inner peace and an optimal outlook.
Kirsty
Counselling Services
I am deeply committed to creating a safe, calm and welcoming environment where my clients feel comfortable to explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences.
Every person has a unique life experience and as such, I tailor my approach to best support individual needs.
I work pluralistically, which allows me to draw from various therapeutic approaches and adapt them to suit the specific goals and challenges of each client.
This flexibility ensures that you receive the most effective and relevant support, whether that involves cognitive behavioural therapy, person centred therapy, or another approach.
Above all, I value congruence in our work together. Being authentic and transparent is essential to building trust and I strive to create an honest, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. Whether you’re facing difficult emotions, navigating life transitions or seeking personal growth, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
My Approach
I offer and encourage the opportunity to hold sessions outside in the calming embrace of nature.
Research has shown that spending time outdoors can reduce stress, improve mood and foster a greater sense of wellbeing.
By combining the therapeutic process with the natural world, we can tap into these powerful benefits, enhancing your healing journey.
Outdoor sessions allow for a more relaxed, open atmosphere, helping you feel grounded and at ease. The quiet, peaceful setting can support deeper reflection, helping you gain clarity and insight in ways that may be harder to achieve indoors.
The natural environment also promotes mindfulness, offering a space where you can reconnect with yourself, free from the distractions from daily life.
Outdoor Therapy
Telephone and online counselling can offer several advantages over traditional in-person counselling sessions, making them a more suitable option for some clients.
Remote Counselling
At the heart of effective counselling is trust, and confidentiality is a cornerstone of that trust.
When you enter a counselling relationship, it’s essential to feel secure in the knowledge that your personal information and the details of your sessions are treated with the utmost respect and privacy.
Whilst I am based in Gravesend, I work from various locations throughout London and Kent, including Bexley, Maidstone, Cobham, Bluewater and Whitstable.
Counselling sessions are priced from £45 and last 1 hour. Payment is required 24 hours before to secure your appointment.
I am insured and work within the NCPS Code of Ethical Practice.

Testimonials
I'm incredibly grateful for the counselling sessions I’ve had with Kirsty. From the moment I walked into her office, I felt an immediate sense of calm and ease. She has a remarkable ability to create a warm, welcoming environment that made it easy to open up. I felt like my feelings were truly valued, I felt supported and understood. I highly recommend The Landscape Counsellor to anyone seeking a safe, nurturing environment for self-growth.
I had my first telephone counselling session recently, I was very nervous at first. However, the counsellor was incredibly understanding and made me feel at ease right away. Their calming presence and empathetic listening helped me to relax and open up about my feelings. By the end of the session, I felt heard and more hopeful about my situation. I highly recommend their services to anyone who might be feeling anxious or unsure about seeking help. It was a transformative experience, and I'm grateful for the support I received.
Working with The Landscape Counsellor in the great outdoors has given me so much strength and comfort. Being in such a peaceful, natural setting allowed me to feel more grounded and open, helping me connect more deeply with myself during our sessions. Kirsty was incredibly considerate of my needs, always making sure that I felt comfortable and supported through each session. She introduced me to a variety of coping strategies that have made a lasting impact on my mental and emotional wellbeing. I now feel more equipped to navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience and peace. Kirsty is a truly effective counsellor.
