About Kimberly

Kimberly Bennett is a counsellor who focuses on the person in front of her. She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space so people can explore feelings at their own pace. She brings 19 years of practice to sessions and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Kimberly uses an integrated approach and draws on different methods to suit each person's needs. She works collaboratively, listening first and then agreeing practical steps to try. Reviews happen at agreed points so progress can be checked and plans adjusted if life changes affect the work.

She has a particular interest in relationship difficulties and in helping people identify and manage triggers in communication and conflict. She also supports people through grief and loss and has worked in a hospice setting for the last two years assisting those coping with bereavement.

Kimberly works with issues such as stress, anxiety, low mood, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, codependency and challenges linked to neurodivergence. She holds a diploma in autism and uses a person-centred approach to support communication, sensory differences and social interaction where needed.

As a coach-therapist she helps with motivation, confidence and practical steps for life changes. Sessions can be adapted when circumstances change, and she aims to offer caring, respectful support tailored to each person.

How Kimberly uses talking therapies online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person first. The therapist encourages people to set the pace and chooses how to respond based on each person's needs, which helps with low mood, self-esteem and life decisions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at practical links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety, manage stress and change unhelpful habits.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and awareness skills to reduce overwhelm and improve coping with strong emotions and rumination.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kimberly will discuss different ways of working and agree on approaches that match a person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and reviews are built in so methods can be adapted over time.

If you are considering online or phone sessions, confirm the session options when booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions can be chosen when video is not convenient. Ask about formats and scheduling when you start the matching process.
