About Kim

Kim Elliott is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulty, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and addictions. She also pays attention to attachment concerns, abandonment issues and related difficulties such as communication problems and codependency.

Kim uses straightforward talking therapy and practical strategies in sessions. She listens to what feels most pressing and helps people break problems down into small steps. Sessions often include work on thoughts and behaviours, and practices that help with feeling less overwhelmed in social situations.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current reactions. She uses client-centred methods to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness practices are used when they fit the client’s goals.

People come for help with a wide range of issues, including chronic health challenges, body image concerns and the strain of caregiving. Kim is also experienced in supporting those affected by domestic violence, separation, and complex grief.

Her style is direct and practical. She works collaboratively to set clear goals and small steps forward. To begin, clients follow the site’s matching process and book an initial session to talk about what they want to change.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current responses. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in relationships and practise different ways of relating in everyday life. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor and on being heard. Online meetings give space to describe concerns and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works with thoughts and actions, and offers concrete tools for managing anxiety and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss the options and agree a plan that fits a client’s goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as the work progresses.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week - for example shorter check-ins can be arranged, or sessions planned around work breaks. They can also reduce travel time and help keep conversations regular, which supports steady progress without promising a specific outcome.
