About Kim
Kim Johnson is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and anger. Kim also supports those facing career strain, compassion fatigue and ADHD related concerns.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions are conversational and aim to clarify what is most pressing. She uses methods drawn from client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Mindfulness practices are introduced when they suit the individual.
Kim also brings emotionally-focused and Imago relationship ideas into sessions. These help people understand emotional responses and improve communication in close relationships. She will talk through interaction patterns and where feelings come from, rather than focusing only on behaviour.
People can expect collaborative planning in the room. Kim uses gentle questioning, reflective listening and behavioural experiments to test small changes between sessions. She explains options clearly and checks what feels useful before moving on.
Her background includes five years of client work across issues such as grief, panic, compulsions, sexual assault recovery and caring for someone with cancer. She works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflection. The counsellor follows the person’s lead and helps them name feelings and priorities. This approach is useful when someone needs to be understood and organise their thoughts about anger or grief.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves noticing automatic thoughts, testing them and trying small behavioural experiments. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, compulsions and changing habitual anger responses.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people map core emotional responses and how those shape interactions. It can be useful when anger comes from attachment wounds or relationship patterns. The counsellor works with feelings and communication rather than only behaviour.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session and adapt based on what the client finds helpful. This is a collaborative process aimed at practical change rather than one fixed method.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also allow people to use audio-only options if video is difficult, which can help when bandwidth or quiet time is limited.
