About Kim
Counsellor and BACP member Kim Johnson has five years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and sleep problems, among other concerns.
Kim uses straightforward, conversational sessions. She listens to what a person brings and helps them talk through immediate worries. Sessions are aimed at practical changes as well as understanding difficult feelings.
Her ways of working include client-centred conversation, cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally-focused work, Imago ideas for relationships, and mindfulness practice. These are used as tools in session rather than fixed rules. The emphasis is on what helps in day-to-day life.
Kim also supports people with depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem and career concerns. She works with those facing big life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related struggles, and with people affected by cancer, caregiving stress, or bereavement.
Sessions may look at communication problems, dissociation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, and sexual assault or abuse when those are part of the concern. She also addresses obsessive thoughts and panic attacks, and offers help around women's issues and midlife challenges.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Kim uses talking therapies online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on talking in a respectful, non-directive way. The counsellor listens and follows what the person brings, helping them clarify feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of responding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor and client decide together which methods to try based on current needs and what feels helpful. That choice can change as sessions progress.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and to have a shorter check-in when time is limited. They can also reduce travel time and allow people to join from different locations, including from outside the United Kingdom. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss practical arrangements and agree a plan for how sessions will run.
