Background and approach
Her style is conversational and human-centred. Sessions focus on the client’s experience rather than on giving advice or the counsellor’s opinions. Her practice is trauma informed and she is comfortable working with sudden or distressing events such as bereavement, suicide, serious illness and major accidents.
She has experience supporting people affected by physical, emotional, financial and historical abuse. Kim describes her work as client-led. People are invited to talk through what matters to them, and the pace is set by their needs.
Creative exercises and simple mindfulness techniques may be used when they feel helpful. Therapy can be short term or longer work depending on the person’s goals. Kim offers a warm, non-judgemental space that aims to help people make sense of loss, rebuild a sense of self, and find ways forward when life feels unsettling.
She brings a playful imagination and a light sense of humour to sessions, while remaining grounded and straightforward in her approach.

How Kim works online
Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how traumatic events affect thoughts, feelings and everyday life. It aims to help people process distressing events and gradually reduce their grip on daily functioning.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which way of working feels most helpful. That choice can change as therapy progresses and will be reviewed collaboratively.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Many people find counselling online can fit more easily around work, family and health demands, because it removes travel time and lets sessions be scheduled more flexibly. Online work can also suit shorter check-ins or times when being on camera is difficult, depending on the available formats.
