Kim Forbes

Kim Forbes is a counsellor and psychotherapist with five years' experience and a BACP registration. She uses a person-centred, integrative style and aims to help people move toward a more authentic life without the hold of fear or anxiety.

She meets people where they are and works in a warm, non-judgemental way. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as on understanding feelings. The emphasis is on respect, compassion and clear, honest conversation.

Kim has supported people with relationship issues, grief, trauma, sexuality questions, anxiety and depression. She also helps with anger, addictions, sleeping and eating concerns, career stress and the strains that come with parenting and caregiving. Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment worries, communication and control issues, and the fallout from separation or bereavement.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred work. That mix lets her tailor sessions to what feels most useful for each person. Work can include learning new ways to manage emotions, practicing clearer communication, and building small habits that change day-to-day life.

Kim encourages people to start where they are and take steady steps toward change. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client sets goals and she offers guidance and support. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to arrange the first session.

How Kim's approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions aligned with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and anger by focusing on small, value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical tools to change patterns that keep problems going. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports people to understand and shift emotional responses, especially in relationship and intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kim will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel. They also allow shorter check-ins when a quick review is needed, and they remove the need to travel to an appointment. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to keep continuity of care across locations and time zones.
