Kim Gregory offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. She works in a straightforward, friendly way and helps clients set goals they can reach. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on small steps that make daily life easier.
Kim uses a blend of approaches and adapts them to each person. That means she may use client-centred conversations to follow what you bring, and cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking.
Background and approach
Mindfulness strategies and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy can be used to build breathing space and manage strong emotions. She keeps sessions collaborative and encourages open feedback about how the work is going. Expectations and goals are set together so therapy stays focused and practical.
Kim is comfortable discussing sensitive topics such as intimacy, addiction, trauma, grief, body image and sexual expression without judgement. With seven years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - she brings steady clinical experience to each meeting. She accepts people from the United Kingdom and international clients and offers sessions in English.
Typical sessions can address sleeping problems, parenting strain, career pressure, mood difficulties and neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and attention differences. Kim also provides coaching-style conversations for people who want practical planning and accountability alongside therapeutic work. Her style is warm and direct, and she invites questions at any time.
The first session is used to set aims and decide which mix of approaches will best meet the person's needs.
How Kim’s approaches work online
Kim commonly draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on following the person's concerns and making the conversation led by their needs, which helps when someone wants to feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and is useful for managing anxiety, mood and unhelpful routines.She also uses elements of dialectical behaviour therapy to help people manage strong emotions and build practical coping skills. These techniques are explained in simple steps and practised together so they become usable outside sessions. Deciding which approaches to use is a joint process - the therapist and client review what is helping and adjust the focus as goals evolve.
Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat can suit brief updates, reflective notes or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the same therapeutic methods available.
