Kimberley Punter

I have evenings and some weekend avaibility. 

Please contact to discuss further. 

Hi I’m Kimberley. I am an integrative psychotherapist, gaining my masters in integrative counselling and psychotherapy through Derbyshire University.

I have been in practice for the last 5 years. I am an accredited member of the BACP and adhere to ethical guidelines at all times. 

I previously worked for a charity on the suicide and self-harm pathway and I have worked for the NHS over the past 9 years.

I love empowering indiviuals and working with diverse clientele to create and deliver a therapeutic talking space for you to help you maintain your own wellbeing. 

I specialise in using a trauma informed approach. I can help create personalised plans with you to guide you forward and achieve your desired goals. I remain active in my listening and tailor sessions to client’s needs within the service.

I am undertaking EMDR training due to complete Feb 2025. Reduced rates while using this type of therapy till qualified. 

Always wanting the best for my clients I go out my way to build the therapeutic relationship and empower clients to achieve their desired results by using the tools provided. This is done through an integrative and psycodynamic approach, providing a holding place for thoughts and feelings, using interventions if/when needed and engaging on all levels to give you healthy coping strategies.

I love to paint in my spare time and love expressing myself in this way.

Please feel free to ask any questions ahead of our sessions to give you reassurance should you require.

Available for online and phone therapy. 

Limited space available for face to face - additional costs to cover Travel/room hire.

I endeavour to help you gain insight and understanding into your choices and perspective, offering a safe, non judgemental and confidential space to explore this with you. 

I offer long term and short term therapy. 

I work with adults and young people from 14 years of age upwards.  

I am trauma informed, utilising this in every aspect of the sessions and have this at the forefront when carrying out assessments, risk management and when delivering therapy to my clients.

I have extensive knowledge around anxiety, self esteem, depression, personality disorders, neurodiversity, autism, adhd, adversity, inner childhood trauma, mental health and more.

I can understand it can be difficult in reaching out to find the right therapy for you and to first make contact.

You have the choice to contact me by email or phone and we can schedule a free brief 15 minute talk to discuss your needs. There will be no obligtion at this point to decide to work with myself.

You can take your time and make the decision to embark on the counselling journey after this discussion.

You will have the chance to ask any questions and choice to move forward working together collaboratively.

Once we have agreed to contract for counselling the first session will be a more robust assessment of needs. 

This will be to gain more information around the support you require before we begin treatment:

-To understand what the current issues are.

-How long have they been persisting

-What type of therapy if known do you require

-The risks if any present

-Set goals

-Maintain a treatment plan

We would also schedule and discuss through how many sessions to allocate and how they will be conducted ie weekly, fortnightly etc. 

Everything is taken at your pace with your best interests at heart.
