“Kirsti is a kind, caring, understanding therapist who has really helped me to understand autism - and therefore myself - more. I feel I can talk about anything with her - including things I would never say to anyone else, because it would hurt them. A real life saver.”
"Kirsti creates a very calm and welcoming environment which makes it easy to talk about any issue I am facing. Whether what I am wanting to talk about is large or small she is always tactful, respectful and empathetic when listening and or giving advice. I feel comfortable talking to them about a wide variety of topics whether it's neurodivergence, being queer and polyamorous, anxiety, depression, my history of substance abuse as well as past trauma. I always leave my sessions feeling better about whatever we talk about."
“Kirsti is a very kind and understanding therapist. She really listened and provided lots of great advice while giving me the necessary space to reach my own conclusions. I hugely benefited from my time with her and would recommend her to anyone needing support."
”I have been working with Kirsti for just over a year now, and I have seen monumental changes in my everyday life, my work, and my relationships with people around me. Kirsti has a wonderfully supportive and reassuring presence. She is both an excellent listener and someone who offers useful, diplomatic, much needed advice. I have learned so much about myself and my childhood trauma, and learned to let go of so many fears and insecurities that have haunted me for decades. Kirsti is a fantastic LGBTQIA+ affirming counsellor and brings expert knowledge as a neurodiverse person. Over the last year with Kirsti I have learned to accept my own neurodiverse traits. Kirsti has helped me to make accommodations in my work and personal life that will last a lifetime.”
“I have been doing art therapy sessions with Kirsti for over a year now. I find these sessions very useful for processing what is current for me and areas of discomfort and confusion. Making art clarifies what I am experiencing and can serve as a visual anchor and reminder for me both during and after a session. Art making helps me access emotions and art therapy allows me to process feelings in my body in a way that talking therapy has not managed to in the past. Kirsti is very kind and open in her approach and she has an affirming attitude towards lgbtqia+ experience and alternative relationship styles, which makes me feel safe and seen.”
“Kirsti has been working with our family, as our autistic daughter was having violent meltdowns. Through her insightfulness, kindness and extensive experience, she has been able to help us understand our daughter and home life is far calmer as a result. I thoroughly recommend her.”
