About Kim
Kim Johnson is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, sleeping difficulties, depression, addictions, and relationship or family concerns. Kim also addresses issues such as anger, self-esteem, career changes, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
In sessions she keeps talk straightforward and focused. She uses conversation to help people notice patterns, try new responses and build practical skills. Kim draws on Client-Centred methods to listen without judgement and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break habits that keep problems going.
She also uses approaches that focus on emotions and relationships, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Imago Relationship Therapy, when people want to look at how connections affect their wellbeing. Mindfulness techniques can be offered to help with sleeping problems, panic and ongoing worry.
Kim has worked with people affected by cancer, caregiver stress, domestic violence, sexual assault, dissociation and end-of-life concerns. She supports clients with obsessions, compulsions and panic attacks, and with difficult feelings like guilt and shame.
Sessions aim to be practical and paced to fit everyday life. People are invited to set goals and review progress. To start, a short matching questionnaire and an initial appointment are the usual first steps.
Kim works in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are organised through a cancellable subscription model.
How sessions work
How Kim uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can clarify their own thoughts. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to work out their priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems active and gives simple exercises to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic and sleeping difficulties.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong feelings and see how those feelings shape their relationships. It can be useful when someone wants to understand emotional patterns that affect family or close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will adjust methods as things change. That process is collaborative and paced to each person.
Confirm the session formats available before you book, as the biography does not specify formats here. Practically, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions let them use tools such as worksheets or mindfulness prompts between meetings, which supports steady progress.
