Kirsty Black, NCPS

Kirsty Black is a neurodivergent-affirming counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings a thoughtful, person-focused approach to her work. She is accredited with the NCPS - a recognised counselling credential - and holds a BA (HONS) in Counselling, while also undertaking an MSc in Child and Adolescent Mental Health with a focus on family issues. She maintains professional growth through regular continuous professional development and combines formal training with many years of practical support experience.

Kirsty has four years of professional counselling experience and has spent 16 years in support-based roles across charities, schools, universities, and private practice. That background informs a flexible, integrative practice that draws on a range of therapeutic tools to meet each person where they are. She has supported people with neurodiversity, anxiety and depression, grief and bereavement, relationship and family conflict, identity concerns, addiction, and related issues across the lifespan.

Working with adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families, Kirsty tailors interventions to individual needs and preferences. Her integrative style can include creative techniques such as art and play, nesting dolls, and practical strategies from CBT, Transactional Analysis, and person-centred talking therapy. She aims to create a respectful, empathetic space that empowers clients to explore change and build skills for a more fulfilling life.

Kirsty offers sessions through online, telephone, and digital text formats and welcomes enquiries from people seeking a supportive, collaborative therapeutic relationship.
