About Kim

Kim Welch is a counsellor with 15 years of experience offering a calm, client-centred way of working. She listens carefully and helps people notice what matters to them. Her approach supports clear, practical steps so clients can move toward the changes they want.

Many people come to her for stress and anxiety, low mood or low self-esteem, and problems with motivation or career direction. She also helps with relationship worries, grief, eating concerns and the strain that comes from parenting or compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Other concerns she works with include ADHD, phobias and mood shifts such as seasonal affective disorder. Kim uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means she follows each person’s pace and priorities. Sessions focus on what you bring and on building inner resilience.

She keeps language simple and focuses on what can be done between sessions. Her work also addresses attachment and abandonment worries, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and issues around immigration and isolation. Clients explore values, practical choices and everyday coping skills to feel steadier in day-to-day life.

Sessions are offered in English and Afrikaans for people based in the United Kingdom. Kim aims to be a steady, non-directive companion as people take the steps toward clearer direction and improved wellbeing.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How a client-centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without steering the conversation and helps the client identify what matters most. This approach suits problems like low self-esteem, uncertainty about life direction, and coping with stress where the individual’s values guide the work.

When therapy moves online, the same client-led principles apply. The counsellor and client work together to choose ways of meeting and the techniques that feel most helpful. That means discussing goals, trying different approaches and adjusting the plan as the work progresses so it fits the client’s needs and preferences.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual connection, phone sessions can use less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins, while chat or messaging can be used for brief updates or when typing feels easier. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life, and make it easier to keep regular contact even when schedules are busy.
