About Kimberly
Kimberly Bennett is a counsellor who centres her work on the person in front of her. She aims to build a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about worry, loss, anxiety or feeling stuck. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, and she has 19 years of experience offering support in the United Kingdom.
She uses a mix of approaches chosen to fit each person's needs. Sessions often focus on practical steps to reduce anxiety, ways to manage strong emotions, and clearer ways to communicate.
Background and approach
Reviews are built into the work so progress can be checked and plans adjusted as life changes. Kimberly has a Diploma in Autism and is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she describes as part of her professional standing.
She has worked in a hospice setting supporting bereavement and loss and also provides support through a national UK charity for people with anxiety. Her practice includes coaching-style help for motivation, self-esteem and confidence as well as therapeutic support for trauma, relationship problems and grief.

Sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a time to meet and explore what they want to change.

How Kimberly’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the individual. It helps people feel heard and clarify their goals so they can move forward at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thought patterns through exercises and structured tasks.
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice the present moment without judgement. It can reduce reactivity to stress and support better sleep, eating and emotional regulation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the issue, and review progress together. Plans are adjusted when circumstances change and techniques are chosen to suit each person’s preferences.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full session with visual contact, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for a quieter check-in, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel.
