Kim Johnson, BACP

Kim Johnson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, sleep problems and depression. She works with those coping with trauma, addiction, anger and self-esteem concerns. Kim uses everyday language and a calm approach to make conversations straightforward and practical.

With five years of professional experience, Kim adapts her way of working to each person. She aims to shape sessions around what the client needs, using talk and practical tools to support change. Her style focuses on listening first and then forming a plan together.

Kim draws on several approaches when helping people, including client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural ideas and emotion-focused work. She also brings in mindfulness and relationship-focused techniques as they are useful. These methods are used to address a wide range of issues such as relationship and intimacy-related problems, career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related difficulties.

Her additional areas of interest include supporting people affected by cancer, caregivers under strain, those dealing with domestic violence and people managing end-of-life and hospice concerns. She also provides help for obsessive and compulsive behaviours, panic attacks, dissociation and sexual assault recovery.

Kim is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. If you want a straightforward, respectful approach, she aims to work at a pace that fits each person.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings. It helps when someone wants a supportive space to talk through stress, grief or ongoing worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. That approach is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, panic and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and choose a quieter moment for a check-in. It can also allow shorter phone or video check-ins when that better fits a break at work or limited time. Registered and accredited professionals can use these ways of working to help people continue therapy even when schedules are tight.
