Kimberly Bennett , BACP

Kimberly Bennett works from an integrated, person-centred approach that places the client at the heart of the work. She aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can speak openly about what is worrying them. Kimberly's style is calm and practical, and she focuses on helping people find manageable steps forward.

She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness and reduce overwhelm. Somatic and solution-focused ideas are introduced when practical body-based work or clear short-term goals are helpful.

Kimberly has 19 years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. She has worked in hospice settings supporting grief and loss, and with UK national charitable services on anxiety-related work. Her background includes support for people managing neurodivergence and she holds a diploma in Autism alongside other counselling qualifications.

Clients commonly come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, grief, trauma, parenting challenges and life changes. She also supports people with eating and sleeping concerns, career strain, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related issues.

Sessions are adapted to each person's needs and reviewed at agreed stages, so the work stays relevant. Kimberly offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life and pace.

How Kimberly blends approaches for online therapy

Kimberly commonly uses client-centred work that focuses on what matters to the individual. This means sessions begin by listening and building a trusting working relationship, with the person's priorities guiding the process.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy in practical ways, helping people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioural changes. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and stress by turning ideas into simple experiments and tasks between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will discuss options and decide together which methods suit the client's needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative discussion can change over time as progress is reviewed and circumstances shift.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls are useful for fuller conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when a shorter check-in works best. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer writing to speaking, want frequent brief contact, or need flexible timing. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to match the pace and focus each person wants.
