Kim Wilksch , AASW

Kim Wilksch is an Accredited Social Worker with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW). She brings three years of professional experience together with personal life experience as a parent and someone living with chronic pain. Kim aims to create a practical and compassionate space for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and major life changes.

She draws on both lived experience and formal study to support people affected by domestic and family violence. Kim offers help with grief and loss, and supports those coping with chronic illness or disability. She also works with people who want clearer communication strategies and stronger self-care routines.

Kim can support people who bring faith into therapy and those who prefer a non-religious approach. She uses plain, respectful language and adapts her way of working to suit each person’s needs. Practical tools and everyday strategies are a common part of sessions.

Her clinical methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Mindfulness and psychoeducation are often woven into sessions to help people manage symptoms and build skills.

People who choose Kim can expect a collaborative approach that balances emotional support with real-world strategies. She is based in Australia and offers therapy in English. Kim writes that she looks forward to working with people who are ready to take steps toward healing and growth.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people identify what matters most to them and take small steps in that direction, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current connections; it can help with communication, loneliness and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kim will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That process is collaborative and may draw on ACT, attachment work or client-centred techniques depending on what fits best.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, while live chat or text messaging suit short check-ins and people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around family, work and daily life without needing to travel.
