About Kim
Kim Simpson introduces herself with warmth and clear support. She speaks calmly and simply, and helps people who are feeling stuck, anxious or grieving to find practical ways forward. Her approach is rooted in listening without judgment and helping each person uncover what matters most to them.
Kim uses person-centred principles alongside other practical methods to help people change how they think and feel. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, and on solution-focused techniques to set achievable steps.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be straightforward and action-oriented when that suits the person. Kim has five years of experience working with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma and relationship difficulties. She also supports people dealing with addictions, eating issues, anger and life changes, and pays attention to problems like guilt, shame and loneliness.
Her listed approach includes the Gottman Method for relationship work alongside client-centred and solution-focused ways of working. She is a member of the BACP, which is shown in her listed credentials as BACP. Kim accepts people from the United Kingdom and internationally and runs sessions in English.
Her style is described as empathic, honest and non-judgemental, and she will discuss referral if she feels another plan would better help someone reach their goals. People who choose Kim can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth process. Conversations are aimed at helping people recognise strengths, make small changes and practise new skills between sessions.

Approaches Kim lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the beginning of therapy. Kim will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the person's needs and goals, and she adapts her approach as progress is made. That collaborative planning ensures that sessions stay relevant and focused on what the person wants to achieve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins or ongoing support. These options give flexibility so people can choose what best fits their routine and comfort.
