About Kim
Kim McCloskey is a counsellor who uses a range of talk-based approaches to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression. She draws on 15 years of professional experience and works in English with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Kim aims to create a respectful and sensitive space for people to speak honestly about difficult issues.
She listens first to understand each person's situation, then shapes sessions around what matters most to them.
Background and approach
She describes therapy as a collaborative process and supports clients as they consider change. Her background includes many years working directly with people facing addiction, trauma, domestic violence and grief. She has also taught counselling and worked as a lecturer, which influences her clear, practical style in session.
That mix of clinical work and teaching informs how she explains skills and tools. Kim uses a blend of client-centred listening and structured techniques. She may use cognitive behavioural ideas to help with unhelpful thinking patterns and dialectical skills for managing intense emotions.
Hypnotherapy and emotionally-focused methods are available when those approaches suit a person’s goals. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs, whether that means short-term skills work or a longer period of reflection. She works with common life challenges such as self-esteem, coping with change, ADHD, chronic illness and relationship ruptures.
The overall aim is to help people find more resourceful ways to cope and move forward.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Kim will discuss goals and preferences, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative way helps match methods to problems like addiction, grief or chronic pain rather than assuming one fixed path.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people work face to face from another location. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and messaging are helpful for short check-ins, ongoing notes and practical support between meetings.
These formats make therapy more flexible for people juggling work, caregiving or mobility limits. Registered or accredited professionals can carry out the same therapeutic work online, adapting exercises and skills training to suit each format and the person’s goals.
