Kirsty Cartwright

I work on Tuesday afternoons and evening, Wednesday morning, and all day Thursday. 

I do have some availability at the moment and would welcome having a free 15-20 minute initial consultation over the telephone with you.

Sessions are 50 minutes and are typically on a regular weekly or fortnightly basis. However, I understand that if you work irregular hours this may not be possible, and I will look to accommodate you where possible.

Hi, I'm Kirsty, and I am a counsellor who works both online, and face to face with adults and young people in my Tewkesbury town centre practice. 

As a trauma informed practitioner, I understand that your life experiences may have left you with scars that haven't fully healed, and still cause you pain today. I am trained to help you heal from this trauma, and live a fuller, more satisfying life.

I will work with you to understand what you are experiencing today without judgement, blame or shame. My goal is to help you rediscover your unique strengths, inherent value, and a renewed sense of well-being through compassion and understanding.

Together we will explore your unique story and  build the self-assurance and inner resilience you deserve. I believe that through kindness and understanding, we can gently address negative self-beliefs, overcome self-doubt, and nurture the belief in your own potential, helping you to lead a more fulfilled life.

I am a fully qualified counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a respected professional body that upholds clear ethical and professional standards. 

I have completed additional training in online and telephone counselling, enabling me to offer a safe and professional virtual space. 

I am also a qualified trauma informed practitioner . 

I offer both face to face and online sessions from my Tewkesbury town centre practice which has a comfortable and private waiting area. 

There is an accessible counselling room on the ground floor, which means I can offer face to face sessions to those with limited mobility.

I offer a free 15 -20 minute phone call where we can talk about what is going on for you just now, what you are looking to achieve in therapy and it gives us a chance to get to know each a bit better. 

After this call, if you are happy to proceed, I will email you an assessment form for you to complete and return. I will then arrange for you to come in for your first session.
