About Kim
Kim Speake is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or confidence concerns. She aims to offer a calm space where people can speak openly about difficult feelings without judgement.
She works with issues such as trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related worries, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and the strain of caregiving.
Background and approach
Kim also supports people facing major life changes, struggles with anger, and attention-related challenges such as ADHD. Her practice addresses both immediate coping needs and longer-term patterns like abandonment or attachment difficulties. In sessions she focuses on practical steps alongside emotional exploration.
People can expect conversations that look at what is happening now, how past experiences shape reactions, and what small changes might make daily life easier. The approach is straightforward and collaborative, aiming to build skills for managing stress and improving communication. Kim holds accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.
That registration reflects her professional standing in the UK. Sessions are offered in English and she works with international clients. Kim provides several online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kim works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options and adapt the pace and focus as progress is made so the work feels relevant and achievable.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for people with busy lives or limited mobility. Video calls let you keep visual contact and read non-verbal cues; phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, journalling-style work, or when typing helps someone express themselves. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and other commitments.
