About Kim
Kim Smith is a BACP counsellor with four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She creates a calm, warm space where people can bring difficult feelings and talk through what is worrying them. Kim aims to make sessions feel straightforward and focused so people can notice small changes over time.
She trained in integrative-relational counselling, which means she draws on a range of helpful ideas to suit each person.
Background and approach
That flexibility lets her adapt sessions to issues like anxiety, depression, addiction and grief. She also has specific additional training in grief and bereavement and uses that when someone is coping with loss. Kim pays attention to relationships and attachment patterns because these often shape how people cope with stress and intimacy problems.
She helps people look at communication, boundaries and emotional patterns so they can try different ways of relating. Practical coping strategies are paired with space to reflect on deeper experiences. People come to Kim with a wide range of concerns, including parenting stress, career strain, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and challenges linked to trauma.
Her approach is to work alongside each person, noticing strengths and building manageable steps forward. Sessions are intended to feel collaborative and paced to the client’s needs. Therapy can include short-term work on a particular problem or longer conversations about life changes and identity.
Kim offers conversations that combine practical tools with reflective listening, aiming to help people find clearer ways to face whatever brings them to therapy.

Online support
Grief-focused work provides space to name loss and learn ways to manage overwhelming feelings. This can include practical coping strategies, memory work and exploring how life changes after bereavement, helping people find meaning and steadier routines.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then tailor sessions accordingly. Changes can be small and gradual, and the approach can shift as needs evolve.
Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging offers practical flexibility. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversation and reading facial cues, phone calls use less bandwidth, live chat can fit quick check-ins and messaging supports short reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping continuity of care.
