About Kimberly

Kimberly Bennett is a counsellor and Registered Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) with 19 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress and anxiety and with a wide range of life challenges including relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem and coping with change. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients.

Kimberly uses a blend of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on client-centred work to listen and reflect what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas help with unhelpful thinking and practical steps, while mindfulness and somatic techniques support calmer bodily and mental responses.

Her background includes time working in a hospice, supporting people through grief and end-of-life-related loss. She also works with a national UK-based charity on anxiety-related support. This combination gives experience with both sudden crises and longer-term coping issues.

Kimberly has additional training related to autism and supports people with neurodivergent needs, whether or not they have a formal diagnosis. She also brings coaching skills to work on motivation, confidence and practical life goals.

Sessions include periodic reviews so progress and goals can be adjusted together. Her practice aims to help people identify relational triggers, improve communication, and navigate conflict with more clarity. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps people clarify what matters to them, which can be useful for anxiety and relationship issues.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers practical strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behaviour changes that reduce stress and anxiety.

Mindfulness work trains attention and awareness of the present moment. Simple breathing and noticing exercises can reduce reactivity and help with sleeping or overwhelming feelings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then adapt methods as progress is reviewed. This collaborative process helps decide whether more practical techniques or reflective listening should be emphasised.

If you plan to work online, check the current session formats before booking since the biography confirms she has experience with remote and phone delivery but does not list specific options here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use a break at work or a quiet spell at home more readily.
