About me
Hi, I'm Kim, a BABCP-accredited CBT therapist and EMDR practitioner with 16 years of NHS primary care experience. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and low self-esteem. What I love most about this work is that there's no one-size-fits-all; every person brings their own story, and I shape my approach around yours.
Training, qualifications & experience
Using CBT, we'll get practical: spotting the patterns keeping you stuck and building real strategies to shift them; e.g., ERP is particularly effective for OCD - gradually and safely exposing you to fears while resisting the urge to respond with compulsions, helping to break the cycle.
With EMDR, we work with trauma at a deeper level - helping your mind process what it hasn't been able to let go of yet. For example, with grief, this means creating space to process loss that feels stuck, so you can move forward without leaving your loved one behind.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The BABCP is the lead organisation for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in the UK. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the practice, theory or development of CBT. BABCP also provides accreditation for CBT therapists. BABCP accredited members adhere to the Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics in the Practice of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies, and are willing to be scrutinised in this adherence as required.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Further information
None of this works without trust, so I put a lot of care into creating a space where you can be honest, go at your own pace, and feel genuinely supported. If you're curious about whether we'd be a good fit, I offer a free 15-minute video call - no pressure, just a conversation.
