About Kim
Kim Johnson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and sleep difficulties. Kim also works with depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and coping with life changes.
Her approach is practical and focused on helping people notice patterns that keep problems going. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to try different responses. Kim also draws on client-centred methods to prioritise the person’s perspective and emotionally-focused ideas when relationships and attachment are central.
Sessions are conversational and structured. She will work with each person to set clear goals and try concrete strategies between meetings. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques appear in sessions when they suit the client’s aims, for example managing stress or increasing motivation for change.
Kim has specific experience supporting people with ADHD-related challenges, compassion fatigue, and issues linked to cancer or caregiving stress. She also addresses concerns such as dissociation, domestic violence, OCD symptoms, panic attacks, sexual assault recovery, and end-of-life or hospice-related matters.
People who choose Kim can expect practical steps to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling an initial session. International clients may be accepted; confirm session options when booking.
How Kim uses CBT and related approaches online
Kim commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and acting that worsen anxiety or low mood. CBT sessions focus on clear problems, practical experiments and homework to test new ways of responding.She also draws on client-centred therapy, which prioritises the person’s experience and helps them lead the conversation. When relationship patterns are a key issue, elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy can be used to look at attachment and interactional cycles.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Kim will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and together decide which approaches to try. That collaborative process guides whether CBT, client-centred techniques or EFT ideas are used more heavily.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding travel time. Many people find video or phone sessions let them keep therapy alongside caregiving, work or treatment commitments. Registered or accredited professionals will explain format choices when you arrange the first appointment.
