About Kim
Kim Johnson is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems and depression. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy issues, addiction concerns, anger, low self-esteem and life changes. Kim works in a direct, respectful way and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel clear and manageable.
Kim uses practical talking and listening to build an understanding of what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centred work and cognitive behavioural approaches to guide sessions. That means she focuses on emotions and attachment patterns, listens without judgement, and helps people spot thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Her approach is collaborative and simple.
Sessions usually involve exploring recent difficulties, naming strong emotions, and trying small experiments between meetings. Mindfulness techniques are used at times to help with distress and sleep problems. Imago ideas can be introduced for people wanting to improve communication in close relationships.
Kim holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. She has five years of professional experience working with a range of concerns. Sessions are offered in English and she is based in the United Kingdom.
She recognises that reaching out can feel difficult. Kim explains the process, tailors the conversation to what matters to you, and checks in on goals as therapy continues.

Online support
How Kim's approaches translate to online therapy
Kim uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name core emotions and attachment patterns that influence relationships and wellbeing. EFT helps when painful feelings keep getting in the way of connection or when grief and trauma feel overwhelming.She also draws on client-centred therapy, which prioritises listening, empathy and the client's own pace for change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try specific strategies to reduce anxiety, panic and sleeping difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Kim will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try and when to adjust them. That collaborative planning helps make online sessions feel focused and relevant.
Online therapy is offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives. Video lets you see facial cues and use experiential EFT work, phone can be useful for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat suits people who prefer writing between sessions. These options provide flexibility for different needs and schedules.
