About Kim
Kim Poyser offers support for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression and coping with big life changes. She also helps people facing trauma, grief, intimacy concerns, eating issues, parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem. Kim works with clients around LGBT matters, bipolar conditions and a wide range of family-related challenges.
She is named in the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists register as BACP. Kim has five years of professional counselling experience in independent practice.
Background and approach
Before this she worked in pastoral support roles within further and higher education. That background means she is used to short-term and ongoing conversations about school, study and life transitions. Earlier in her career she spent two decades in social care supporting young people and vulnerable adults.
Roles included work with local authorities and projects for organisations such as Barnardo's, plus online counselling for Childline. Training and workshops have covered suicide, self-harm and wider mental health topics. In sessions she takes a straightforward, respectful approach and adapts to each person’s needs.
Conversations are shaped by what a person wants to change and by practical steps they can try between meetings. Kim will work with clients to set goals and pick small, achievable actions. She offers a mix of session styles including video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging.
Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with scheduling made after a short matching questionnaire.

Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for what is already working and builds on it. Sessions aim to set small, realistic goals and to identify practical steps that bring quick gains, which can suit problems such as stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kim will talk through what feels most useful, try different ways of working and adjust the plan based on goals and progress. The client’s preferences and day-to-day needs guide which methods are used.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling easier to fit into life. Video calls allow a fuller conversation similar to an in-person meeting, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging can help people reflect between sessions. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
