About Kim

Kim Elliott is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression and addiction. She also helps people struggling with relationship difficulties and trauma and abuse.

Kim uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her core approaches. She also draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural tools and mindfulness practices. Sessions focus on naming emotional patterns, understanding relational responses, and trying new ways of relating to hard feelings.

In practice Kim aims to create a straightforward space to talk through what is overwhelming. She listens to how past experiences and attachment concerns show up in daily life. She often helps people recognise patterns like abandonment fears, codependency or avoidant behaviours so they can try different responses.

Kim also supports people facing practical life strains, such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image concerns, communication problems and divorce or separation. She works with issues linked to autism and Asperger Syndrome where these appear in a person’s story.

To get started, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients may be accepted, and sessions are offered in English.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is about identifying and shifting difficult emotional patterns. It helps people name feelings that are driving how they respond in relationships and daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current reactions and how to change unhelpful attachment patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can make sense of their own experience and decide what changes to try. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. They will then use one or a mix of approaches collaboratively so the client can see what fits best for them. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by allowing a shorter check-in between commitments or avoiding travel time. They also allow sessions where speaking or written exercises suit the moment better, such as using mindfulness practices or CBT worksheets without needing extra materials.
