About Kimberly
Kimberly Bennett uses a person-centred approach to put the client at the heart of therapy. She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what is worrying them. Sessions are calm and paced to each person's needs so they can explore feelings without pressure.
Her practice draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to make sense of difficult thoughts and on mindfulness to build steadier attention. Somatic techniques are used when bodily tension is part of the problem.
How Kimberly works
These methods are selected to suit each person rather than applied the same way for everyone. Kimberly has 19 years of counselling experience and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has worked with people facing anxiety, stress, depression, grief and relationship problems and has recent experience supporting bereavement in a hospice setting.
She also offers coaching-style support for motivation, confidence and life decisions, and has a diploma in autism which informs her approach for neurodivergent clients. Sessions can be delivered online or by phone to fit different needs. Kimberly structures work collaboratively and reviews progress at agreed stages.
She adapts plans when life events create new priorities, and aims to help people find practical steps to feel steadier and more able to manage everyday demands.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. Online sessions let the counsellor create a calm, accepting space where a person can speak at their own pace and decide what to focus on. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and tests new behaviours. That approach works well online with practical exercises, thought records and step-by-step plans sent between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy helps people build steady attention and reduce reactivity through simple exercises and short practices that can be guided over video or audio.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasise a person-centred stance, CBT techniques, mindfulness practice or a blend of methods, and they review progress as they go.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets. Phone sessions suit quieter bandwidth or times when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging give shorter check-ins, written reflections and easier access between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the same therapeutic focus and collaboration.
