Kim helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of making sense of their experience. Practical tools for sleep, anxiety and mood are used alongside reflective talking work. She has five years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Kim directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

How narrative and practical approaches work online
Kim combines Narrative Therapy with Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural techniques to help people reframe difficult experiences and build everyday coping skills. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their life and helps separate the person from the problem so new meanings can emerge. Client-Centred work centres the person's experience and priorities, offering a non-judgemental space to speak and be heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Kim will discuss different ways of working and try methods that suit the client's goals and preferences. This collaborative planning means the style of therapy can shift as needs change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow more direct conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can fit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life while keeping the focus on practical change and clearer understanding.
