Kim Johnson, BACP

Kim Johnson is a UK-licensed therapist with five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has supported clients dealing with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and sleep-related difficulties, drawing on practical skills and a compassionate stance.

Kim treats each person with respect and sensitivity, shaping conversation and the treatment plan to match individual needs and preferences. She combines attentive listening with collaborative goal-setting so that interventions reflect what matters most to the client.

Recognising that starting therapy can take courage, Kim affirms clients for taking that step and offers steady, tailored support as they work through immediate challenges and longer-term concerns. Her focus is on meeting people where they are and helping them move forward at a pace that feels right.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Kim draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which places the client's experience at the center of the work and offers a nonjudgmental space for exploring feelings, relationships, and life changes. This approach is useful for clients seeking understanding, validation, and support while navigating stress, grief, or identity questions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems. CBT can be well suited to clients looking for structured tools and short-term symptom relief.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is employed when relational patterns and attachment needs are central, helping clients and couples to better understand emotions and respond to one another in more connected ways.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kim collaborates with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions - whether by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for clients with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or who live at a distance. Registered professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care and make therapy more accessible without sacrificing a thoughtful, client-centered process.
