About Kim
Kim Johnson is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, sleeping problems and depression. She also helps those dealing with addictions, relationship and family concerns, and intimacy-related issues.
Her approach centres on listening and helping clients name the emotions that feel hard to put into words. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques. Conversations are practical and focused on what is happening now and what the person wants to change.
Kim also supports people facing career strain, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related difficulties. Additional areas she addresses include cancer and caregiver stress, communication problems, dissociation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and issues such as jealousy, narcissism and obsessions or compulsions.
Sessions include discussion of coping skills, thinking patterns and emotional responses. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing methods are available when helpful. She works with people to build clearer ways to respond to triggers and to improve day-to-day functioning.
People who choose Kim can expect straightforward conversation about problems and practical next steps. The first contact involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session to agree goals and plan ongoing work.
How Kim uses EFT, CBT and client-centred work online
Kim combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centred practice and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that are easy to follow. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name strong emotions and the relationship or attachment patterns that keep them stuck. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person right now. CBT looks at thinking patterns and practical steps that change moods and behaviour.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences in the first sessions and adjusts methods over time. Together they decide whether to place more emphasis on emotions, thinking patterns or present-focused listening based on what helps most.
