About Kim

Kim Simpson is a counsellor who aims to help people feel stronger and more able to cope. She uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client’s experience first. Kim welcomes straightforward conversations and practical steps that help people change how they think about themselves.

She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused work to add structure when needed. That means sessions might include small experiments, looking at patterns of thought, or setting short-term goals to test what helps.

Background and approach

Kim also uses ideas from the Gottman Method when relationship issues are central to what someone wants to work on. Kim has five years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has supported people with anxiety, depression, grief and trauma, as well as struggles with self-esteem, addictions and anger.

She also helps people dealing with parenting stress, intimacy concerns and changes in life direction. In sessions she aims to be empathic, honest and non-judgemental. If she feels a different approach would be better, she will say so and suggest a referral.

Work with Kim is collaborative - she helps people set clear steps and notice what makes a real difference. Practical options include video, phone, chat or messaging sessions to suit each person. International clients can be supported in English, and initial steps start with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the service.

How Kim’s approaches work online

Kim uses a person-centred approach which focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the individual. This approach helps people feel heard and builds a foundation for change by supporting their own goals and values.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In online sessions CBT can include setting small experiments, practising new thinking styles and breaking problems into manageable steps to reduce anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kim will collaborate with each person to decide whether person-centred sessions, CBT techniques or solution-focused tasks suit their needs. That choice is guided by the client’s goals, preferences and what shows progress in early sessions.

Online therapy offers practical benefits: video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions can fit into a busy day, and live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing support without needing to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep continuity and fit therapy into work and family life.
