Kimberly Bennett

Kimberly Bennett is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. She aims to create a warm, trusting and non-judgemental space so people can talk through thoughts and emotions at their own pace. Kimberly brings 19 years of experience and works from a person-centred stance to help clients feel heard and understood.

In sessions she adapts her approach to each person’s needs, drawing on a mix of client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and somatic techniques. She checks in at stages during the work to review progress and to adapt the plan if life events change priorities. That practical review helps keep goals realistic and relevant.

Kimberly has a background supporting people with anxiety and stress and has worked with a national UK charity on anxiety-related issues. She has also provided bereavement support in a hospice setting for the last two years. Her work includes helping with relationship difficulties, anger, self-esteem, motivation, and major life changes.

She holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and describes herself as an integrated therapeutic counsellor. She also completed a diploma in autism and supports people who are neurodivergent, whether or not there is a formal diagnosis.

Sessions are tailored with kindness and respect, and Kimberly describes her role as collaborative. She combines listening with practical steps so people can move forward from difficult moments and regain clearer decision-making and coping skills.

How Kimberly’s therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space and follows the client’s lead to understand what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard before making changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses practical steps to test unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce emotional reactivity and increase calm in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kimberly works collaboratively with each person to agree what to try first and reviews progress together, adapting methods as needs and goals change. Clients are encouraged to feed back about what helps so the plan stays relevant.
