About Kim
Kim Speake offers a calm, down-to-earth approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or relationship strain. She introduces straightforward ways to talk through difficult feelings and build practical coping skills. Kim presents herself as a supportive presence while someone takes early steps towards change.
With three years of professional experience, Kim focuses on everyday struggles that can sap energy and confidence. These include issues such as trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, anger, depression and addictions.
Background and approach
She also pays attention to concerns around parenting, sleep and eating, and to patterns linked to attachment, abandonment and commitment worries. Sessions aim to be a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. Kim works with each person to set simple, realistic goals and to try methods that fit their life.
She emphasises practical strategies alongside emotional reflection so progress feels manageable. Her background includes registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Kim uses that framework to guide ethical practice and professional standards in her work.
People who prefer clear, compassionate conversation and step-by-step coping tools may find her style helpful. She accepts clients in the United Kingdom and also works with some international clients in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to connect someone with her and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Kim works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will choose methods to test and adjust so sessions match what the person needs in practice.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let people try talking from a familiar setting while the therapist and client decide which therapeutic steps to try next.
