This is my second time returning to Kim for therapy after a year of me having no therapy, as I did not feel the need for it for that time period. However, I am very grateful to be able to return to work with her, as she helped and supported me through some very difficult and turbulent times last year. And I have complete confidence that we will work well together again now. Thanks.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Kim is very professional and informative, the shape of sessions is dynamic between reviewing experiences and providing insight for self advice on the issues.
Kim presented me with one of the qualities I value most in life....honesty.
She is such a motivating and inspiring presence! Very empathetic and very understanding of me. I feel like I can finally face some of the more complicated issues in my life, because she just offers me support every step of the way, so I never feel like I’m doing this alone.
Kim is a really fantastic therapist, and creates and safe space to talk, listen and discuss.
Kim has so far very quickly got to the root of my struggles. Whereas other therapists I have worked with for month have not been able to do so. Kim is empathetic, understanding, insightful and helps me to reflect upon my emotions in a more regulated manner. This has been done in a short period of time and I look forward to continuing to work with Kim moving forward.
Kim has been an excellent counsellor to talk and work things through. She has really helped me and given me guidance that has really worked. Thank you, Kim.
Very helpful..
My therapy sessions with Kim Forbes have helped me immensely. I am happier and my relationships have improved. She makes me feel comfortable even when discussing painful issues, and offers keen insights that have allowed me to make meaningful changes in my thoughts and life.
Through talking with Kim, I’ve discovered more about myself in terms of thought processes and my perspective on life. This has happened in just a couple of weeks. Kim is a very good listener and asks just the right questions that provoke deeper reflections.
Kim is very good listener so no feelings of being judged, makes it so much easier to do first steps and open up at the start of therapy. This is my first time ever in therapy so I had no idea what to expect and received professional and targeted care, I guess this is what therapy is about and Kim knows exactly how to run the show.
Fantastic lady, I feel very comfortable with sharing my life with her and feel like she listens and gives great advice. Thanks Kim
Will review later on. Have only had one session so far.
In the short time we have worked together I have noticed a dramatic increase in my overall mood and it’s really comforting to know that she is there to speak to.
I have only had one session with Kim so it feels a little early to comment in detail. She listened and understood and I really like the way she messages me regularly- especially prior to us meeting for the first time.
Kim has been really supportive, she's a great listener and very empathetic, bringing new perspectives on some of my experiences that I'd never be able to come to myself.
