About Kim

Kim Johnson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems and low mood. She works with a wide range of concerns including addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Kim brings five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide her clinical practice. Her style is warm and respectful.

Background and approach

She aims to listen carefully and respond with sensitivity. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs, so conversations and plans are personalised rather than one-size-fits-all. Kim uses approaches that focus on emotions and practical change.

She draws on client-centred ideas to prioritise what the person wants. Cognitive behavioural techniques help with unhelpful thoughts and routines. Trauma-focused work supports people who are processing past harm.

She also offers tools to manage relationships and communication, using emotionally focused and Imago-based approaches when appropriate. Practical strategies for sleep, stress and everyday coping are part of the work when needed. Kim pays attention to experiences like dissociation, compassion fatigue, bereavement, and issues linked to serious illness or caregiving.

Sessions can include discussion of goals, brief exercises, and homework to try between meetings. The aim is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes. Kim encourages people to take their time and set the pace that feels right.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Kim uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process the effects of past harm and distress. This work often involves paced discussion of difficult memories and practical coping skills to reduce overwhelming reactions. Client-Centred Therapy is another base of her practice and focuses on offering empathic listening so people can find their own solutions at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, panic, low mood, sleep problems and compulsive behaviours by offering clear strategies and experiments to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kim will talk with each person about what feels most helpful and adapt methods over time. Goals, preferences and practical circumstances shape the plan rather than applying a single model to everyone.

Online therapy supports the same kinds of work through different formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and practical exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or flexible scheduling. These options give more ways to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the therapeutic aims in focus.
