Background and approach

Her style is non-directive. She follows each person’s pace and priorities rather than imposing a plan. Sessions focus on talking things through, recognising patterns, and building small, practical steps forward.

Kim aims to help clients strengthen resilience and regain a sense of control over day-to-day life. She often explores attachment concerns, feelings of abandonment, guilt and shame, and issues around isolation or emptiness. Practical coping strategies are introduced alongside reflective conversation.

Sessions are offered in English and Afrikaans for people based in the United Kingdom. Kim provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose the format that fits their life. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for the client.

Client-centred support available online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than a strict plan. The counsellor offers empathic listening and reflects what the client says so they can better understand their own feelings. This approach is well suited to anxiety, low self-esteem and life direction issues where a person needs space to find their own answers.

Kim’s work is collaborative. She will help clients identify the approaches and techniques that feel most helpful. Finding the right fit is part of the process and she adjusts the way she works to match a person's goals, preferences and pace.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, reflective notes, or when typing feels easier. These options give flexibility to arrange therapy around work, family or other commitments.
