About Kim
Kim Simpson welcomes people who are worried, overwhelmed or stuck. She writes plainly and directly, and aims to make the first step feel less daunting. Kim sees anxiety among other concerns and focuses on helping people find clearer thinking and kinder self-talk.
Her approach is rooted in client-centred therapy, which means conversations start with the person's own aims. She listens without judgement and helps people notice what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Kim also uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work to offer practical steps between sessions. Kim has five years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration guides how she practices and how she makes clinical decisions.
She also draws on relationship tools from the Gottman Method when relationship communication is a central issue. People come to Kim for many reasons - stress, grief, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, addiction concerns, trauma, eating issues, parenting strain, anger or help with intimacy and relationships. She also supports people working on forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose and self-love.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Kim will help set clear goals, try manageable changes and review progress. If a different kind of support would suit better, she will discuss referral options and next steps to help people move forward.
How Kim's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences; the counsellor listens, reflects and helps people clarify what matters to them. This approach suits worries like low self-esteem, grief and life changes because the work follows the person's pace.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and uses small experiments to test new ways of thinking. CBT can help with anxiety, depression and stress by teaching practical tools to change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Kim will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then decide together which methods to use. That collaborative planning can change over time as goals shift or as new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to make therapy fit different lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or for simpler check-ins. Live chat and messaging let people write between sessions and keep momentum when schedules are busy. These options make it easier to access regular support while balancing work, family and travel.
