Kim Johnson helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and problems with sleep. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and work or career stress. Kim uses simple language and a calm manner to make difficult topics easier to talk about.

Her approach is practical and centred on the person. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what matters most right now and build skills to manage symptoms between meetings. Kim draws on a mix of methods including client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally-focused work, Imago relationship ideas and mindfulness. She adapts these to fit what a person needs rather than using one fixed method.

That can mean learning ways to reduce anxious thoughts or practicing mindful habits to improve sleep. Kim has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as a credential. She works with people who are dealing with family strain, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and specific concerns such as obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, dissociation and sexual assault recovery.

Sessions can cover practical coping strategies, ways to handle anger or jealousy, and support through major life changes or end-of-life matters. The tone is warm and respectful, and Kim aims to help people feel understood while they work toward clearer next steps.

How Kim's Approaches Work Online

Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding the person's perspective and creating a safe space to talk. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches practical ways to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotions and improve how they connect with important others, which can help with relationship strain and intimacy issues.

Choosing the right approach is a joint effort. Kim will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. She adapts techniques over time based on what is helpful, and she invites feedback so the work stays relevant to the person's life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversation and face-to-face connection. Phone calls are useful when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can suit shorter exchanges, journalling between sessions or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel.
