Kim is great. The most helpful therapist up to now.

Kim has been brilliant. I haven’t been going to therapy for a huge amount of time, around 4 months or so, but every single session I had with Kim I felt truly valued and understood. Kim has supported me and offered me great advice and guidance, and I would highly recommend her to everyone.

Welcome! I'm really glad you're here!

Thinking about reaching out for support takes courage. Starting therapy can feel daunting, whether you're overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. But taking this step today is essential to the change you’re hoping for—and now you don’t have to do it alone.

My focus in therapy is on you: on creating a warm, trusting, and non-judgmental space where you can safely explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. I believe that being heard, accepted, and understood can have a powerful impact on emotional well-being and the ability to move forward.

What to expect when working with me

I will bring kindness, and respect into each session, and I will tailor our work to reflect your unique needs and goals by tapping into he different modalities from my training and match the right approaches to your needs.

I see each client as a whole person and I will work in partnership with you with compassion and also collaboratively. We will have reviews at certain stages of our work together where we can openly assess your progress and and make any adapted approaches if necessary. Life is fluid and life events can happen at any time, if this affects you we can adapt our work to ensure you are fully supported.

Over the past 3 years on the Better Help Platform, I have supported people through a wide range of issues, including anxiety, low mood, stress, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, trauma, childhood abuse, addiction, grief, and significant life changes.

My particular focus is on supporting clients through difficult times of their life, times when life feels confusing, when you feel unsure of yourself and need to make changes or difficult decisions.

I offer support for those impacted by trauma, adverse childhood experiences, relationship issues, bereavement, challenges with careers, challenges in managing neuro divergence with or without diagnosis and many other overwhelming life events.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Reviewed August 2024

I came to Kim in a position of deep loss from a death of a parent and amidst a relationship breakdown. Kim was supportive, attentive to my needs and an essential piece in the healing process of my grief. Kim enabled me to break down the barriers I had formed and help draw connections between the many relationship troubles I had experienced throughout my life. With Kim’s support and encouragement I am a stronger, and more resilient individual who finds joy in solitude as well as in company. I cannot thank Kim enough for the positivity and rationale she has brought to my life. I will be forever thankful.

I couldn't have been matched to a better therapist. Kim is very professional, empathic, and understanding. She always offers me several methods and ideas of coping strategies. I really appreciate Kim going the extra mile to think of me between our sessions as I've never had that with previous therapists.

I am on my third session with Kim & she is amazing. I started this process with a muddled bunch of reasons as to why I thought it would benefit me. Kim was able to immediately identify the main factors & we started work - it has been so enlightening to talk with Kim & have already felt a huge difference in my day to day life.

I can highly recommend spending some time talking to Kim, having worked with her across 12 sessions recently. I found Kim to be clear, insightful and understanding, as well as very friendly and I felt immediately at ease in her company. Kim guided me with compassion as we worked through what I brought to our first session, as well as helping me discover other connected stresses and behaviours which I hadn't considered. Kim really helped me, and I enjoyed our time together.

I couldn't have gotten a more perfect match with Kim! She listens to me, understands me, knows my way of thinking and behaving, and always makes recommendations that are within my means/limits. Kim is professional and respectful. I know Kim has experience in various areas of therapy and this is clear from my discussions with her.

I have only had a few sessions with Kim but I already feel that we have a great connection. I have been able to be very honest with her and she has been very supportive and caring. I love that I can add daily entries to my journal that Kim is able to access. I look forward to our sessions and know that I am in safe hands.

Working with Kim has been an incredibly positive experience. She is an excellent listener and has helped me reflect on my past, set goals, and develop new skills to manage life's challenges. In just a few months, she was able to identify the automatic thoughts my brain creates and has been helping me keep the ones that serve me well and rewrite the ones that no longer reflect who I want to be. She is also very responsive and does a great job of checking in between sessions, asking thought-provoking questions or sending me relevant exercises or podcast episodes to provide extra tools to process life’s challenges.

Im thankful that I was matched with Kim. With my anxiety issues I wasn't sure how the therapy will go, also because english is my second language, but she has so much experience especially with anxiety and she put me at ease from the first moments and we did great work together. Basically I turned my life around in these weeks and I will be forever grateful for this. I'm highly recommending her!
