Kim Johnson

Kim Johnson is a counsellor who helps people facing anger, stress and anxiety. She also supports clients dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems and low mood. Her tone is calm and direct, and she aims to make first steps feel manageable for worried people who may be unsure what comes next.

Kim works from a person-centred standpoint. She listens first and adapts conversations to what matters most to each individual. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness to help people manage strong feelings and change unhelpful patterns.

With five years of experience she has supported people through relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction and self-esteem issues. Kim also offers help around career stress, coping with life change, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. She draws on emotionally-focused methods when work on close relationships is helpful.

People who come to Kim can expect straightforward, collaborative sessions. She aims to set clear goals and small steps, then review progress together. Sessions include talking, reflecting and practicing simple strategies between meetings.

Kim is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works from the United Kingdom. Sessions are delivered in English. If someone is unsure how therapy might fit their life, she encourages a short initial match process to find a good way forward.

How Kim’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person needs most. Online sessions allow Kim to follow the client’s lead, reflect back what she hears and set collaborative goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises and simple behaviour experiments to tackle patterns that feed anger, anxiety or low mood. Online work can include agreed tasks between sessions and step-by-step skill building. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and change patterns in close relationships by naming emotions and trying different ways of connecting; it can be used when relationship patterns are part of the concern.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kim will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time so the therapy stays focused and useful.

The practical benefit of therapy delivered remotely is fitting sessions into busy lives. Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as formats are not stated here. Online work can make it easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help people keep therapy consistent with everyday routines.
