About Kim
Kim Johnson offers support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping difficulties, depression and addiction concerns. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career stress, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. Kim works with people dealing with ADHD and a range of related problems such as panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive symptoms and dissociation.
She draws on five years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
How Kim works
Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions are built around the person's immediate needs and priorities rather than a fixed programme. Kim uses client-centred methods to make conversations feel open and respectful, and she brings in cognitive behavioural ideas when people want tools to manage thoughts and anxious patterns.
She also uses emotionally-focused and relationship-centred methods when intimacy or communication problems are the main concern. In sessions she listens carefully, helps set clear goals, and suggests small, doable steps to try between meetings. She adapts the pace and techniques to what each person finds most helpful.
Work can include breathing and mindfulness practices, thought-challenging exercises, communication skills and planning for better sleep. People come for short-term focused work or longer conversations about complex issues such as bereavement, domestic violence impact, caregiver stress or end-of-life concerns. Kim accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally and offers several online formats to suit different needs.

How Kim’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on making conversations feel safe and non-judgemental, with the therapist following the person’s lead to understand their concerns and goals. It helps when people need acceptance, empathy and a space to make sense of difficult experiences.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change them. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and managing panic symptoms.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy aims to improve emotional connection and communication in relationships by helping people notice and name their feelings and responses. It can be helpful for intimacy difficulties, jealousy and communication breakdowns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kim will talk with each person about goals, try out methods together and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The process is collaborative and paced to the person's comfort and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, practising skills between meetings or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel.
