About me

Hello there! You've taken the first step and I'm here to help. As a therapist, my role is to use my skills to enable you to become self-aware, to see your potential and to take steps to reach it. I am the facilitator and you are in the driving seat! I can support you whether you are in crisis and your world is falling down around you or you just would like to understand yourself better.

Therapy doesn’t have to take years; I am trained to enable you to get to the seat of your problems. You will gain a better understanding of who you are and why you may be feeling stuck - often we set up patterns where the players may be different but the issues are the same! We will look at your current situation and the tools you have to work through your issues, together with how you developed your core beliefs about yourself, your relationships and the world [based on childhood perceptions]. Using this insight, I will help you understand yourself better so that you can make choices so that you create a happy and fulfilling future.

It is not what we have.. but how we use what we have! As adults, we are responsible for our destiny and the consequences of our actions; we are not victims but survivors. 

Being employed within the field of mental health and disabilities, I am also committed to providing support to people with disabilities and to carers.

I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with over 20 years experience providing counselling and coaching for life. I also work in Adult Social Care, specialising in mental health and disability, [since 1985]. I also specialise in trauma work and PTSD and am qualified in EMDR.

Where we will be working

We work in a safe confidential space either in my Summerhouse which is airy and bright over looking my peaceful cottage garden.

How I work

I am here to help you, am eclectic in my approach and flexible to meet the needs of each client. I work within a range of psychotherapeutic, humanistic and cognitive models and the tools I use may include early recollections, EFT, EMDR, art and relaxation - whatever helps you understand and express yourself best!

Feedback from my clients

When I was at a low ebb, the opportunity to feel listened to and have some positive actions to take forward was quite literally an absolute life saver. Kim is positive, sensitive, experienced and so easy to talk to I cannot recommend her highly enough. BK

Kim's' profound knowledge underpinned by warmth and humanity, shone a bright leading light through my grief journey. AM

When I first met Kim, I felt trapped by my feelings and could see no light at the end of my personal tunnel. After working through my issues, Kim helped me understand that my destiny was in my own hands. She has helped me understand my past and to look forward to a bright future. She is an open minded, sensitive, caring Counsellor. CM.
