A space to understand yourself and move towards meaningful change
Integrative Psychological Therapy at Healing Minds Studio
You may feel overwhelmed, caught in familiar patterns, or find that understanding your difficulties hasn’t been enough to change how you feel.
Therapy offers space to explore what is happening, make sense of your experiences, and develop ways forward that feel meaningful to you.
Together, we work at your pace, bringing thoughtful exploration and practical support to what matters in your life.
You don’t need to have it all worked out
People come to therapy for many reasons. You might be experiencing anxiety, emotional exhaustion, grief, or a significant life change. Past experiences may still affect how you feel about yourself or connect with others.
You may also be exploring experiences associated with ADHD or neurodivergence, or simply have a sense that something needs to change.
You are welcome to begin with whatever feels difficult to put into words.
Thoughtful therapy, shaped around you
My approach brings together academic training in psychology and ongoing professional development in integrative, trauma-informed therapeutic approaches.
We explore how your thoughts, emotions, bodily responses and relationships connect, paying attention to both your current circumstances and the experiences that have shaped you.
Depending on your needs, our work may involve making sense of recurring patterns, processing difficult experiences, developing ways to manage overwhelming emotions, or finding greater clarity through a period of change.
There is room for both deeper understanding and practical steps in everyday life.
Meet Kirsten

My therapeutic style is thoughtful, collaborative and responsive to you. I value taking time to understand your experience, including your strengths, the ways you have coped, and what you hope might become different.
I aim to offer a steady, respectful space where you can speak openly, explore difficult feelings, and feel supported without being rushed.
Taking the first step
Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, and it is understandable to have questions.
