About Kim

Kim Simpson is a counsellor who aims to help people feel steadier and more confident. She welcomes straightforward conversations and offers gentle, practical help for feelings that feel overwhelming. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental and she encourages people to build on their own strengths.

Kim uses a person-centred way of working, which means she listens carefully and follows each person’s pace. She may also draw on cognitive behavioural techniques to help challenge unhelpful thinking and on solution-focused ideas to set clear, attainable goals.

Background and approach

Conversations are practical and focused on what someone wants to change in daily life. Across five years of practice she has supported people with depression, anxiety and grief. She has also worked with trauma and abuse, historical child sexual abuse, domestic and sexual violence, hoarding, PTSD and relationship difficulties.

She aims to be honest and straightforward while offering compassion during difficult moments. Kim is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. That membership guides how she works and the professional standards she follows.

She is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. When needed, she will discuss other options and make a referral to help people access the right care. Kim focuses on helping people reconnect with who they are, reduce shame and guilt, and build practical ways to cope with life changes and stressful times.

How Kim’s approaches work online

Kim commonly uses a person-centred approach and cognitive behavioural therapy online. Person-centred work focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own answers, which can suit conversations about identity, grief and self-worth. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety or low mood.

She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals and track small changes over time. Together these approaches allow sessions to be tailored to what you need now, and the therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit best with your goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, and messaging or live chat can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy lives and different time zones.
