About Kim
Kim Forbes is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. Her practice also covers parenting, intimacy-related difficulties, addictions and several other everyday pressures that affect life at home.
Kim uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client's experience at the centre of each session. She combines that with evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioural work and attachment-focused thinking. Sessions are practical and conversational, aimed at making changes that fit into daily life.
People come to Kim for help with broken routines, trouble sleeping, low self-esteem and problems after separation. She also supports those facing trauma, bereavement, caregiver strain and issues around body image and eating. The list of concerns she works with includes both short-term problems and longer term patterns such as codependency and attachment difficulties.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now, what matters most to the client, and small steps that can reduce stress at home. She uses a mix of reflective listening and structured techniques so people can try different ways of coping between sessions.
Kim accepts people who live outside the UK as well as those in the country. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment using the online booking flow.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages small committed actions based on what matters to the person and can help with anxiety, avoidance and low mood.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from close relationships and how they shape current behaviour. This helps people understand recurring problems with trust, commitment or emotional distance and try new ways of relating to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to use. That collaborative planning means sessions can shift as needs change rather than sticking to a single technique.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to use video, or who need a quiet appointment that fits around childcare or work breaks. Registered or accredited professionals offer online appointments that mirror in-person talking therapy and focus on practical steps clients can try between sessions.
