About Kim
Counsellor Kim Elliott is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, depression and addictions. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Kim offers a calm, direct way of working. She listens and helps people talk through upsetting events and difficult feelings. She is used to helping people who feel overwhelmed or unsure how to move on.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice. That means attention to how relationships shape feelings and a focus on the person's immediate experience in the room. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used where thinking patterns and behaviours are getting in the way.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy tools can help people notice and name strong feelings. Mindfulness exercises are offered to help with stress, grounding and attention. Kim blends these methods to respond to whatever a person brings during a session.
She has worked with a wide range of issues including abandonment and attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and situations involving separation or domestic violence. The aim is practical work that helps people manage day-to-day challenges.

Approaches used in online counselling and what they involve
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour. Online this can help with fears around abandonment, trust and close relationships. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person's experience. It aims to make it easier to name feelings and say what matters in sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps spot unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and tries short practical experiments to change them.Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. Kim will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She will also adjust work as things change so that sessions stay relevant and practical.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so check the current options before booking. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit into daily life, such as saving travel time or fitting a short appointment around work. It can also allow quieter check-ins without being on camera or use techniques that suit lower bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer these flexible ways to meet, and the therapist will help pick a format that matches practical needs and therapeutic aims.
