About Kim
Kim Zepler is a humanistic counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing relationship difficulties, family stress, grief and trauma. She also helps with anxiety, depression, bipolar mood issues, addiction and problems with sleep, eating and self-esteem. Kim works in a conversational way and focuses on each person’s experience and needs.
Her sessions are client led. She listens without judgement and does not give advice or share personal stories.
Background and approach
Instead she helps people talk through what feels difficult and notice what matters to them most. This plain, talking-based approach is aimed at helping someone feel heard and understood. Kim describes her practice as trauma informed and is comfortable working with sudden or distressing events such as bereavement, serious accidents and histories of abuse.
She also pays attention to life changes - loss of job, moving home, or changes in health - that can leave people feeling unsure of themselves. Her background draws on humanistic counselling principles and she integrates person-centred ideas with Gestalt and transactional analysis. Small creative exercises and simple mindfulness can be used where helpful.
Kim has three years' experience and lists BACP as a professional registration. Sessions can be short or longer term depending on need. Her manner is warm and straightforward, with a light touch of humour when it fits.
The work aims to help people make sense of loss, rebuild confidence and find clearer ways forward.

Ways of working Kim names
Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
Approaches for online talking therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers a non-judgemental space and supports people to find their own answers, which can help with anxiety, self-esteem and life transitions.Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to the effects of distressing or sudden events. It helps people make sense of painful experiences and manage strong emotions that follow trauma or abuse.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods accordingly. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still allowing regular therapeutic support from registered or accredited professionals.
