Kim Elliott , BACP

Kim Elliott welcomes people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. She creates a calm space so clients can talk through what matters most to them. Kim's approach is practical and warm; she sits alongside people as they work through stress, anxiety, relationship pain, trauma, or low self-esteem.

Kim has three years' experience and holds BACP accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She is comfortable addressing a wide range of concerns, including depression and addictions, and aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on what a person needs right now.

Her wider interests include attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, codependency and commitment concerns. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness or disability, body image worries, and the practical strain of caregiving.

In sessions Kim blends client-centred listening with evidence-informed tools drawn from cognitive behavioural and emotionally-focused approaches. She uses mindfulness techniques to help calm the body and attention during difficult moments.

People can expect clear conversation, practical strategies to try between meetings, and a gradual focus on what helps most in daily life. Kim accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally and runs sessions in English.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Attachment‑based work focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds. It looks at patterns of closeness and distance and helps people notice and change unhelpful relational habits. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It provides simple exercises and experiments to try between sessions for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kim will work with each person to agree what feels most useful, combining listening with practical tools. That means discussing goals, testing what helps, and adjusting the plan as things change so the work stays relevant.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls make it possible to see non‑verbal cues and run guided exercises. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging supports ongoing check‑ins and written reflection between meetings. Together these formats help people access therapy around work, childcare and travel commitments, while keeping the focus on steady progress.
