Kim Elliott, BACP

Kim Elliott is a counsellor who aims to make therapy feel straightforward and manageable. She welcomes people who are stressed, anxious, struggling with relationships, or facing trauma and loss. Kim wants clients to know they will have a calm, steady presence in sessions as they work through difficult feelings.

Kim uses a mix of practical and relational approaches. She often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps her with clear steps for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred listening are also part of her toolkit when emotions need attention.

Her practice includes work on self-esteem, depression and addictions, plus a range of related concerns such as abandonment, communication problems and caregiver stress. Kim also supports people dealing with chronic illness, body-image worries and the emotional effects of separation or domestic violence.

With three years of experience and BACP registration, she brings a down-to-earth style to sessions. She aims to help people notice small changes that lead to feeling steadier day to day. Reaching out is often the first step, and Kim will help clients turn that step into a manageable plan.

To begin, clients are invited to use the continue button on this profile and complete a short matching questionnaire. From there they can schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that translate well to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present emotional patterns. It helps when someone wants to understand why they react strongly in certain relationships and to try different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting thought patterns that increase distress and testing small behaviour changes to feel better. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and move through intense feelings so they stop driving relationship or personal problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods suit their goals and preferences. That might mean blending attachment ideas with CBT, or using emotion-focused work for particularly charged issues. The plan can change as progress is made.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It also makes working with a therapist in a different region possible, which can help people access the right fit more quickly.
