About Kim

Kim Smith is a BACP counsellor who offers person-centred support for adults and young people aged 16 and over. She brings four years of practice to sessions and creates a calm, warm space to talk through what feels difficult. Her work is aimed at helping people make sense of emotional pain and practical problems.

She trained in Integrative-Relational Counselling and uses that approach to shape sessions around each person's needs.

Background and approach

That means she draws on different therapeutic ideas and adapts them as conversations unfold. She also has additional training in grief and bereavement to better support people coping with loss. In the room she focuses on building a steady, trusting relationship.

She encourages clients to notice their strengths and to use those strengths when facing challenges. Conversations are guided by what the client finds important at the time. Areas she addresses include stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, parenting and family concerns, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, and self‑esteem.

She also works with people dealing with long‑term health issues, caregiver strain, and attachment or abandonment concerns. Sessions can be held by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Kim practices from the United Kingdom and conducts therapy in English.

How integrative approaches work online

Kim uses an integrative‑relational way of working that blends different therapeutic ideas to match what each person needs. In practice this means sessions might focus on exploring past relationships and attachment styles to understand current patterns and emotional reactions, which can help with relationship, abandonment and attachment concerns.

She also offers grief and bereavement support that helps people talk about loss, name painful feelings and find manageable ways to cope. That work often combines listening, practical coping strategies and pacing the conversation so difficult material is easier to bear.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and then adjust techniques as therapy progresses. This makes it easier to try different ways of working and find what helps most.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for face‑to‑face conversation and reading visual cues, phone work can fit a shorter check‑in or lower bandwidth, and messaging or chat can suit brief updates or when writing helps reflection. These options offer flexibility to fit sessions around work, study or family life while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
