About Kim
Kim Gregory is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or life changes. She uses clear, straight talk and aims to make early conversations gentle and easy to follow. Kim wants clients to feel heard and to set goals that matter to them.
With seven years of practice and a BACP registration, Kim draws on a mix of approaches. She often uses Narrative and Client-Centred ideas alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques.
Background and approach
Sessions combine listening with practical steps to try between meetings. Kim works at a pace chosen by the client. She encourages people to name concerns, set priorities and try small changes that build confidence.
If something in the work does not feel right, she asks clients to say so and will adapt the plan. Her style is warm and straightforward. She aims to answer messages within 24 hours unless away on holiday, and invites questions between sessions when helpful.
People can expect a collaborative tone rather than a one-way programme. Typical topics Kim helps with include relationships, self-esteem, parenting strain, grief, addictions, sleep problems, attention difficulties and coping with trauma or major health issues. She also supports people with career worries and identity concerns.
New clients begin by discussing goals in the first session, then shape the work together. Kim balances open conversation with gentle challenge so people can better understand their patterns and try new ways of coping.

Online session options
How Kim brings therapeutic approaches online
Kim commonly uses Narrative Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problems by looking at the stories they tell about their lives and finding alternative, more helpful narratives. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client’s pace so they can explore what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours to see what changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kim will discuss your needs, goals and preferences during early sessions and together decide which tools to try. That way the plan grows from your priorities rather than being imposed from the start.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and sit in a longer conversation. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is low or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflections or brief coaching-style support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
