About Kim

Kim Elliott is a counsellor who focuses on helping people when life feels overwhelming. She meets people where they are and offers a steady presence while they work through stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression or addictions. Kim aims to make the first contact feel manageable and respectful for anyone who is worried about reaching out.

She uses straightforward, practical conversations to identify what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

Sessions often explore how past attachments affect present relationships and look for small, achievable steps to reduce distress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps with changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports people to understand and name painful emotions so they can be processed more easily.

Kim draws on client-centred methods that keep the person’s needs at the heart of every session. Mindfulness practices are included when they fit a person’s goals, offering simple tools to manage strong feelings and tense moments.

With three years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - she works within the UK and with international clients in English. Her additional focus areas include attachment issues, abandonment concerns, aspects of autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family and caregiver stress, body image and long-term health challenges.

She also supports people dealing with codependency, control issues, divorce and domestic violence. Reaching out begins with a short questionnaire and a match process. From there people book sessions that suit their schedule and preferred format.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape present relationships. Online sessions use conversations to identify patterns and help people try different ways of connecting and responding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new actions. Through guided exercises in sessions, people practise skills that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and sit with strong emotions so those feelings change shape over time; this approach supports clearer communication and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your needs, discuss goals and try methods that feel suitable. Decisions about techniques are made collaboratively and can be adjusted as things progress so therapy stays relevant to what you want to change.

Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats: video calls for face-to-face style work, phone sessions when video is not needed, live chat for quicker exchanges and text-based messaging for ongoing check-ins. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring duties and travel, and to use shorter or longer contacts depending on the issue being addressed.
