About Kimberly
Kimberly Bennett offers a client-centred approach that focuses on each person’s experience. She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters most to them. She aims to listen first and work alongside clients to find practical ways forward.
Kimberly tailors her work to the individual, drawing on a mix of methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and somatic approaches to match the needs presented. Sessions include periodic reviews so progress and goals can be checked and adapted.
Background and approach
That way the work shifts as life changes arise. She has 19 years of counselling experience and is a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Kimberly has recent experience supporting people with grief, having worked in a hospice setting for the past two years.
She also works with clients affected by anxiety and stress in collaboration with a UK charity. Kimberly can support people who are neurodivergent and holds a diploma in autism that informs a person-centred approach to communication, sensory processing and social interaction. She combines therapeutic and coaching skills to help with motivation, confidence and practical life decisions.
Her practice emphasises kindness, respect and collaboration, and she makes changes to the approach when life events affect a client. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist’s scheduling process.

How Kimberly works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses simple, practical steps and exercises to reduce worry or unhelpful patterns and can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with stressful life events.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. Short practices and grounding techniques can reduce overwhelm and support better sleep and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best, and will review progress together and adjust the plan as needed.
Confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Many people find online counselling useful because it can fit around work, travel or family routines and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid travel time, making it simpler to maintain continuity of care.
