About me

Hi, I'm Kim and I am an online Counsellor, Psychotherapist, Art Therapy life coach, Hypnotherapist and Creative Counsellor giving me the flexibility to help you with whatever you may be dealing with.

Contacting a counsellor can be daunting, you may be feeling apprehensive and wondering what to expect. I will provide you with the confidential space you need to talk about anything that is concerning you, an opportunity to explore and process your experiences and bring out effective change.

There is nothing more healing than being heard by someone who cares. I believe every client is the expert on their own lives. My aim is to guide you in your journey to a better well-being state of mind.

We have many beliefs, feelings and emotions that can hinder the way we cope with day to day life, talking about these can help empower your sense of self.

I offer short term and long term therapy.

I have worked in Forensics alongside the Police for over 20 years, so I have an understanding of the stresses and what frontline services undertake on a daily basis. 

I have Fibromyalgia, I understand the pain this can cause, coming to terms with life changes and how to deal with them.

I am a lover of nature and the seasons, being creative and crafting for that bit of me time. I like to integrate creative therapies into sessions if the client is interested and willing.
