About Kim
Kim Forbes is a counsellor and psychotherapist who brings five years of experience to her work. She holds BACP accreditation, and she aims to help people live more fully with less fear and anxiety. Kim takes a warm, respectful approach and speaks plainly about change.
She focuses on common everyday problems like stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, self-esteem and addiction concerns.
Background and approach
Other areas she helps with include eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, career strain and coping with life changes. Kim uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to shape practical steps.
Sessions are conversational and aim to help people notice patterns, try small changes and learn new ways of responding. Her manner is non-judgemental and empathic. She encourages people to speak honestly about their feelings and to set realistic goals for change.
Work with Kim often includes looking at relationships, communication patterns and how past experiences affect present choices. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Practical matters such as session format and scheduling are discussed at the start so people can find a way of working that fits their life.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kim will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest a combination of methods. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as the client notices what helps and what does not.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, chat is good for brief check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping regular contact with a registered BACP professional.
