Kirstie Donaldson

I am a warm and friendly person and as a counsellor I am focused on building a trusting relationship between us from the beginning. Getting to know a client means that I am able to walk in their shoes, and see life from their perspective. I have experience of working with drug and alcohol addiction, anxiety, and management of various mental health issues, including mentoring work with people on the autism spectrum. I am an integrated therapist, so I use any and all theories that I think will work for a client, so their journey is tailor made for them individually. I don't believe that one theory fits all! I also have a spiritual bent to my counselling, and I have found that spirituality can be an enormous strength to people in crisis, so I am happy to help clients explore meditation and other spiritual practices that they may find helpful
