About Kim

Kim McCloskey is a counsellor with 15 years of experience who uses client-focused approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She works with people facing addiction, trauma and loss, guiding them through practical steps and steady conversation. Kim is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and also lists NCPS as a credential.

Her style puts the person first. Sessions are tailored to each situation rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Background and approach

She combines Client-Centred Therapy with techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when needed. Hypnotherapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy are also part of her toolkit for specific goals. Kim has worked in teaching roles as well as clinical settings.

That background means she often explains coping skills in clear, practical ways. She aims to make therapy understandable and usable day to day. People come to her for a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety.

She also supports those facing grief, relationship ruptures, fertility or end-of-life questions, chronic health problems, and issues around self-worth and isolation. She recognises how these challenges can overlap and affect everyday functioning. In sessions, Kim focuses on building a trusting, respectful space.

Conversations move at the client’s pace and focus on clear goals. She helps clients notice patterns, try new strategies and track small changes over time.

How Kim's approaches work well online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and tailoring sessions to what matters to the person. Online sessions let Kim follow your lead and adapt each meeting to your goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical techniques to change them. That works well in video or phone sessions where homework and short exercises can be set between meetings. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) emphasises emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills; it is useful for managing intense feelings and can be taught across calls and messaging.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kim will talk through different options and try methods that match your needs and preferences. The aim is a collaborative plan you can use outside sessions as well as during them.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in fits your day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typed reflection, want brief check-ins, or need a way to stay in touch between longer sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
