Kim Forbes, BACP

Kim works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, addictions and trauma and abuse. Her practice pays attention to attachment and relational patterns, so she often looks at how early bonds shape current difficulties. Kim also uses cognitive and acceptance-based ideas to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values.

Those methods are mixed with a warm, empathic stance so people feel heard while learning new ways to cope. Kim supports work on practical issues too, such as sleep problems, eating concerns, career stress, parenting strain and communication difficulties. She also helps people manage loss, codependency, commitment worries, body image and problems that follow separation or divorce.

Additional focus includes compassion fatigue, caregiver stress and responses to traumatic events. People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth counsellor tend to fit well with Kim. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions.
