Kim Johnson

Kim Johnson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems and depression. She works with those coping with relationship strain, addiction concerns, anger and low self-esteem. Kim also supports people dealing with career changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD, and has a practice interest in narcissism-related difficulties.

Her way of working is warm and respectful. Conversations are shaped around each person's needs, with clear, practical steps alongside listening. She uses evidence-informed methods such as client-centred approaches and cognitive behavioural ideas to make sense of problems and find small changes that help.

Kim trained to the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has five years of practice experience. She draws on a mix of emotionally focused techniques and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and respond differently when stress or difficult feelings arise.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. Kim will help set goals together and review progress each step of the way. The focus is on what matters most to the person in front of her and on practical tools to manage day-to-day strains.

People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through painful experiences and work toward clearer choices. Kim encourages questions and will tailor the pace and focus to each person's situation.

How Kim’s approaches translate to online care

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and reflection to help people clarify what matters and make their own choices. This approach is useful for people feeling overwhelmed, unsure, or stuck.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour that maintain problems. Work is practical and goal-focused, with small tasks and experiments to test new ways of coping. CBT can help with anxiety, sleep issues, panic and low mood.

Many people find that trying different approaches together helps. Kim will discuss what feels most relevant and tailor a plan based on the client's goals and preferences. Deciding which methods to use is a joint process and can change as progress is made.

If you want online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuity of care for people living abroad or who cannot attend in person, and can be as focused and practical as face-to-face work when matched to the person's needs.
