Kim Johnson, BACP

Kim Johnson is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping problems and depression. She also supports those facing addictions, relationship and intimacy difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and career stress. Kim brings five years of practice to her work and holds BACP accreditation. Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She focuses on listening first and tailoring conversations to each person’s needs. Sessions aim to be practical and clear, with attention to what a person can do between meetings. Kim uses approaches that include client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and emotionally-focused methods. She also draws on Imago relationship techniques and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and build healthier responses. This mix helps with both emotions and everyday coping. Her additional focus areas include ADHD, compassion fatigue, end-of-life and hospice concerns, caregiver stress, sexual assault and abuse, domestic violence, dissociation and OCD-related worries. She also supports people dealing with cancer, jealousy, midlife transitions and communication problems. Kim works with people across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients in English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so conversations can fit around busy lives. Fees vary with location and are paid through a cancellable subscription. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. After that they can schedule sessions according to Kim’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people feel understood. The therapist supports each person to find their own solutions and to build confidence in making changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and provides simple strategies to reduce anxiety, manage panic and improve sleep.

Kim will work with each person to decide which approach, or combination of approaches, fits best. That choice is collaborative and may change as goals shift. She explains options clearly and checks in about what is working and what needs adjusting.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful when face-to-face conversation matters, phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is low, and messaging helps with quick check-ins or when people prefer written communication. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care around work, family and other commitments.
