About me
A warm Welcome to R & R Counselling Service. I feel very privileged to have been supporting clients of mine for 13 years now including over 4 decades of life experience .
What can Psychotherapy offer me?
I have a wealth of experience with lots of presenting issues having been practicing for so many years. So there is never an issue too big or too small to explore in therapy. Counselling provides a ‘different space’ in a comfortable environment to share anything that is troubling you and talk about the things we sometimes mask or shy away from in relationships or a workplace.
Some examples of struggles bought to therapy are stress, anxiety, PTSD, relationship struggles, Grief of a loved one, perimenopause/menopause, loss, postnatal depression and family dynamics to name a few. If there is a struggle in any of these areas in our life it can hold us back in feeling happy and more importantly, ourselves.
The relationship with your therapist is a uniquely healing one, it can be freeing and feel like a huge luxury to speak so intimately and freely without fear of judgment or repercussions. A space where you can be heard and supported without agenda or prejudice but with underrating kindness. This involves looking at not only the ‘issue’ but all aspects of you, your relationships and life, including everything and everyone in it. Past and present.
This experience is life-changing and right at the core of what I pride myself being able to offer people at R & R Counselling. I’m very passionate about what I do and I feel what I can offer clients of mine is a huge gift.
R & R Counselling takes a Holistic approach to supporting you in counselling. I draw upon Existential Philosophy and use a number of theoretically proven techniques to help you through your therapeutic journey. These will all relate to you uniquely.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. 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. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. 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. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“Finding Kim was one of the best things that has happened to me. Throughout our time together she has unerringly made me feel held in whatever I’ve been going through as well as totally worthwhile as a human even when I have doubted it. I have worked through many different episodes in my life with her from breaking up with my partner, to having a baby and trying to get back into the dating scene. On top of dealing with a crisis in self worth because I was no longer working. Working with Kim has helped me understand myself better and has given me the ability to work through and cope with issues as they come up rather than shutting down each time I get overwhelmed” 20.02.2020 Client chose to remain Anonymous.
