About Kim
Kim Johnson helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping problems, depression and addiction. She also supports people with relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career worries, ADHD and coping with major life changes. Kim works in a straightforward, calm way so conversations feel manageable from the first session.
She keeps sessions focused and practical. Clients can expect a mix of listening, gentle challenge and problem-solving.
Background and approach
Kim adapts her approach to what each person needs rather than using one fixed method for everyone. Kim draws on a range of approaches including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness skills. These help with emotional regulation, managing unhelpful thoughts and building better day-to-day routines.
She also uses emotionally-focused and Imago-informed ideas when relationship issues are central. Her practice includes supporting people coping with cancer, caring responsibilities and end-of-life issues. She is experienced in working with trauma, dissociation, domestic violence, sexual assault and related concerns, and with obsessions, compulsions and panic symptoms.
Kim holds BACP registration, which reflects her professional standing with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and works with people in English. Kim welcomes international clients and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches simple tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety or improve sleep.
Mindfulness therapy offers practical ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. It can help with stress, rumination and managing strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kim will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people write between sessions and use therapy without being on camera. These options increase flexibility and help people access therapy from different locations and schedules.
