About Kim
Kim Poyser helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship problems and depression. She also supports those facing grief, trauma and abuse, issues with intimacy, eating concerns, and the challenge of coping with life changes. Kim works with people around parenting, self-esteem, anger, bipolar-related concerns and LGBT issues.
Kim is a member of BACP, the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists. She has five years working in personal counselling and many more years in social care roles.
How Kim works
Her background includes pastoral support in further and higher education and work as a project worker with Barnardo's and as an online counsellor for Childline. Sessions are shaped around the person in front of her. Kim listens with respect and sensitivity and adapts her approach to what each client needs.
She uses client-centred conversation to help people feel heard and solution-focused techniques to set clear, manageable goals. Practical matters such as session style and pace are agreed together. Kim has attended workshops on suicide, self-harm and mental health, and draws on that experience when safety concerns arise.
She is also DBS checked and carries professional insurance. Many people begin therapy worried it will be hard to explain themselves. Kim aims to make the first conversations straightforward.
She offers steady, calm support while working towards small, practical steps that fit a person's life.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what the client says. It helps people feel understood and builds a safe space to talk about worries like anxiety, depression or relationship strain. Solution-Focused Therapy looks forward and identifies small steps that can change a problem. It is practical and goal-oriented, useful for coping with life changes, stress, or feeling stuck.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kim will work with each person to decide which style or blend will best meet their needs and preferences. That choice is made together, and may shift as goals change or progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, reflection between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
