About Kim
Kim Simpson is a counsellor who welcomes people feeling overwhelmed by stress, grief, anxiety or the struggles of parenting. She writes in a straightforward way and offers steady, non-judgemental support. Her approach suits someone who wants practical help and time to reflect.
Kim is a BACP member, which the client can expect to guide her practice. Kim draws primarily on client-centred work, while using techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused methods.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and simple steps that people can try between meetings. She listens for how thoughts, feelings and daily routines are linked and helps clients notice small changes that build over time. Her experience includes supporting people through depression, trauma, grief, addiction and relationship challenges.
Kim also helps with self-esteem, communication problems, guilt and life purpose. She aims to be honest and empathetic while guiding clients to practical strategies and new ways of thinking. Kim accepts people from the United Kingdom and international clients.
Her background includes work with complex histories and a commitment to follow the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework. If she thinks another path would be more helpful, she will discuss referrals and options openly. People who choose Kim can expect a calm, collaborative space to work on parenting concerns, coping skills, and emotional recovery.
Sessions are paced to match each person’s needs, with a focus on achievable steps and clearer communication.

How Kim’s approaches work online
Kim often blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice patterns and try small practical changes. Client-centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience, offering empathy and support to help them clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical ways to test and change unhelpful thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kim will talk with each person about what they want to achieve and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative effort - the therapist and client choose strategies together and review what works over time.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work and family life. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction from different locations, while phone sessions can be quicker and need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or days when writing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility and make it simpler to keep progress between sessions.
