Kim Simpson

Kim Simpson welcomes people who are ready to address stress, anger, anxiety and other painful feelings. She writes in plain, direct terms and offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through what is happening now. Her approach aims to help people feel more in control and to rediscover self‑compassion so they can make steady changes in everyday life.

Kim practices person-centred therapy and also uses tools from other approaches to help people reach their goals. She listens first, then works with each person to choose practical steps that suit their situation. Sessions focus on clear, manageable tasks as well as exploring feelings and past events that affect daily life.

Her experience includes supporting people through depression, anxiety, grief and trauma, and she has worked with issues such as domestic and sexual violence, historical child sexual abuse, hoarding, PTSD and relationship difficulties. Kim is a BACP member, which is noted here exactly as provided, and she follows the BACP ethical framework for practice.

People describe her style as empathic, honest and straightforward, and she says she will discuss referrals if another approach would better meet someone’s needs. Kim also lists work around addictions, bipolar, eating issues, parenting concerns, intimacy-related difficulties and life changes as part of her practice.

If you are looking for practical ways to manage overwhelming feelings and to rebuild self-worth, Kim offers collaborative support that balances emotional exploration with goals and skills you can use between sessions.

How Kim’s approaches can work online

Client-centred therapy puts your experience at the heart of sessions and aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space. This approach helps when people need to feel heard and to rebuild self-worth after difficult events.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression and managing intense emotions like anger, with clear exercises to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kim listens to your goals and preferences, and she will suggest ways of working together that match what you need. You and the therapist decide collaboratively whether to focus more on emotional processing, practical skills or both.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow regular check-ins when that helps progress. Consider what will suit your day-to-day life and discuss it when you start so sessions can be organised around your needs.
