More about Kim

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

Hi there, my name is Kim and if you are reading this, you have taken the first and hardest step towards finding empowerment and learning to love yourself. My therapy style is person-centered and as such I believe that we all have inside of us the ability to achieve a better self and to love the beautiful unique person that we are, however sometimes we all need a little bit more and we may use tools from other models to enable us to reach that goal. There comes a time in all of our lives where we need extra support to remember who we are and how much we have achieved. I can assist you on your journey without judgment and in complete confidence to find your true self and accept that you can achieve this goal and learn to change your way of thinking. I have experience of working with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, hoarding, historical child sex abuse, PTSD, grief, domestic, sexual violence and relationship issues. I am a registered member of the BACP and adhere closely to their ethical framework for good practice. I am empathic, honest, and non-judgemental and if I feel I can not be of benefit to you I will discuss this with you and seek a referral to ensure you receive the best plan to help you reach your goals. I wish you good luck on your journey and well done for taking the first step.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I was experiencing a very bad depressive episode last year and signed up for BetterHelp. I am glad to have been matched up with Kim who has been a great listening ear, voice of reason and comfort through my darkest times. She has also given me suggestions and tools to think about, such as building my boundaries. I definitely recommend Kim as a therapist and BetterHelp as a platform that has rendered their needful services in times of need!

Kim, has been both professional and compassionate. She always listens to what l have to say and l feel is non judgemental. I am grateful for receiving her expertise, and knowledge. In the last few weeks, l have become a lot stronger and l am beginning to find solutions to my own problems. I understand that healing takes time, but in a short space, l have made some huge leaps. Don't get me wrong, of course there are days, l find difficult but there have been many more days where the sun has and is still shinning and for this lm thankful. Thank you Kim.

Kim is the best therapist I could ask for. She understands what I’m saying and gives me the chance to understand my feelings and where they come from. She’s given me the chance to get my confidence back.

Reviewed February 2024

Kim has been an invaluable support through many problems I’ve needed help with, from toxic work environments, relationship issues, childhood trauma, friendship woes to general mental health issues as a result. I needed an objective view point on work/life balance conundrums and friendship and relationships struggles that I’ve recently been facing. Without fail, each time, kim has been able to very quickly distil the crux of what’s likely to be at the root of the issue, and given me highly insightful and actionable advice. Kim has a nice, gentle nature and manages to be highly professional while also being very sensitive to what your emotional needs might be at that time. I am slowly coming to terms with childhood trauma and understanding its impact on my present, while also trying not to allow it to dictate my future. I cannot recommend kim highly enough.

Kim has been absolutely amazing. She is so attentive & kind, she really listens and tries to help you come up with solutions. Her way of questioning makes you think twice about why you’re feeling a certain way. At a point where I felt alone and stuck, I can safely say that Kim has re-assured me of my self worth. She sets me weekly tasks and I can’t wait to share them with her the following week. I will continue to use Kim in the distant future & highly recommend her to anyone who is at a low point in their life.
