Kiran Kaur is a Queer BIPOC Therapist specialising in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), with over 15 years of experience working across mental health services. She brings warmth, compassion and extensive clinical experience to her work, supporting individuals to better understand themselves, navigate emotional difficulties and make meaningful changes in their lives.

Her clinical experience includes working with depression, generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety, panic disorder, health anxiety, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), low self-esteem, burnout, stress, perfectionism and procrastination.

Kiran uses evidence-based, formulation-driven CBT approaches, recognising that everyone's experiences and therapeutic needs are unique. She works collaboratively with clients to understand the connections between their thoughts, emotions, behaviours and life experiences, helping them develop practical strategies for managing psychological difficulties.

As a member of the Queer community and an LGBTQ+ affirmative therapist, Kiran is passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC individuals navigating identity, gender, sexuality, relationships, culture and belonging. She recognises how family expectations, cultural narratives and wider social environments can shape our sense of self and influence our emotional wellbeing.

Kiran is fascinated by the complexity of human identity and believes that while our histories and experiences shape who we become, they do not have to define our future. She believes everyone deserves the freedom to be unapologetically themselves, without fear of judgement or the pressure to hide parts of their identity.

Therapeutic Approach

Opening doors to self-discovery, transformative healing and authentic freedom.

Kiran offers a warm, collaborative and non-judgemental therapeutic space where clients can explore their experiences, feel heard and develop a deeper understanding of themselves.

Drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), LGBTQ+ affirmative practice and culturally sensitive approaches, she recognises that psychological difficulties do not exist in isolation. Our thoughts, emotions and behaviours are often influenced by our relationships, identities, upbringing and the wider social environments in which we live.

Alongside developing practical CBT strategies, Kiran supports clients in exploring experiences and beliefs that may contribute to their difficulties, including shame, self-criticism, perfectionism, fear of rejection and challenges with self-worth.

She has a particular interest in helping people explore aspects of their identity that may have remained hidden, unspoken or difficult to understand. For LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients, this may involve navigating cultural expectations, internalised stigma, discrimination, identity conflicts or difficulties finding acceptance and belonging.

The greatest journey is the one that brings us to ourselves — embracing who we are and discovering the freedom of who we can become.

Kiran approaches these experiences with compassion and curiosity, recognising that everyone's journey is unique. Through therapy, she supports clients in challenging unhelpful patterns, strengthening self-compassion, developing healthier coping strategies and reconnecting with their authentic selves.

At the heart of Kiran's work is the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, accepted and empowered to live authentically, creating space for personal growth and a life that feels meaningful and genuinely their own.
