About Kim

Kim Elliott offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship strain. She presents a clear, compassionate presence and aims to make sessions easy to approach. Kim holds a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration, shown as BACP, and works from the United Kingdom.

She speaks English and accepts international clients. Kim draws on practical therapies to help clients with trauma, loss and addictions.

How Kim works

She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationships affect current ones. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Sessions are client-centred and move at each person’s pace.

Kim offers a listening space where people can name difficult feelings and try manageable steps forward. Time is spent talking through problems, noticing patterns and practising small changes between sessions. She has three years of experience working with concerns such as self-esteem, chronic illness, caregiver stress and body image.

Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, avoidant personality traits, codependency and communication problems. Kim also supports people facing separation, domestic violence, commitment worries and the ongoing emptiness that can follow life changes. Her approach combines emotional understanding with practical tools so people can build steadier day-to-day coping.

To begin, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit their circumstances. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

How Kim’s approaches work online and what to expect

Kim uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and reactions, which can help when trust or closeness feels difficult. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving that reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kim will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose techniques that fit. The process is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that is helpful; phone work can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work or family life and to keep continuity when travel or location make in-person meetings difficult.
