About me
Kim Knowles

Highcliffe BH25 & Christchurch BH23 - 07849125777
I offer face-to-face- counselling for individuals both Adults and Teenagers, offering support to overcome a variety of concerns such as bereavement, stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship difficulties
I offer a confidential and non-judgemental space, in a safe calm environment where we can work together, at your own pace, to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences to help you make sense of things and understand yourself better. I work in a relational integrative style and tailored to meet the needs of my clients. .
It can be very dauting to reach out and seek counselling. It is sometimes hard to know where to start, especially if you have never been to a counsellor before. Therefore it is important that you feel comfortable, with this in mind I offer a free 20 minute, no obligation, telephone conversation to determine if I am the right counsellor for you

The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice.

Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
