Kim Forbes, BACP

Kim Forbes is a BACP-registered counsellor with five years of practice. She blends person-centred work with other approaches to help people manage everyday struggles and build clearer ways of living. Kim aims to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and find small, workable changes that make life steadier.

Kim uses straightforward, empathetic conversation in sessions. She listens without judgement and encourages people to notice what matters most to them. This practical style suits someone who wants calm, readable guidance rather than technical jargon.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, low self-esteem, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger, career worries, and depression. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family concerns, body image, codependency, dissociation, and coping with change after separation or loss.

Kim draws on a mix of approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-informed work. She uses these to help clients notice patterns, make values-led choices, and practise new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Sessions are offered in English and Kim accepts international clients. People who prefer a warm, non-judgemental space and practical help with thoughts and everyday habits often find her style approachable. To begin, users follow the site process to match with a therapist and book a session.

Therapeutic approaches you can try online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, choose personal values, and take small actions that match those values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and for making life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers simple tools to change patterns that keep problems going. It can help with stress, sleeping difficulties and unhelpful thinking habits.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand and shift how they relate to close others and manage intimacy or abandonment concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into day-to-day life - they can be easier to schedule, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from quieter surroundings. Online work also makes it possible to continue therapy when life requires flexibility, while keeping the focus on practical changes and everyday habits.
